The biggest advantage is longer, heavier bullets that have a better SD and BC

The only version of the Springfield Waypoint that will be available til the first of the year is the carbon fiber barrel with the non adjustable stock for $2275. I got a Bergara HMR Pro today. Going to top it with a Nightforce 5.5-22x56.

No one needs a better BC for shooting at 500 yards much less the average 100 yard shots most folks are hunting from

They both have almost same trajectory 0-500 however the 6.5 prc is pushing a much larger piece lead with more energy. I don’t have one but that is the major difference 0-500.

.243 can not touch a 6.5prc. A closer comparison would be a 7mm-08 vs 6.5prc. I am not a long range hunter, but my friend is. He is doing cartwheels over this round. However, for those like me who do not shoot animals regularly at ranges +500 yards, we will never see the benefits of this round. A .308 will work fine for us.


Hunting brings out the worst in people.

No argument there ... I would guess most "hunters" don't even no what BC or SD are

The internet has taught "shooters" that BC is king and has tried to ignore WDM Bell Killin elephants with a 7x57. I'm not sure if we had a test before issuing licenses of 6 inches at 100 yards off a fencepost or kneeling if they could pass.


Only hits count.

Zeroed my Bergara HMR Pro 6.5 PRC today. After zeroing, I cleaned the bore and shot a 0.60” 3 shot group. I love this caliber. Can’t wait to see what it performs on a whitetail. Already thinking about selling my Tikka .300WM and getting a lightweight 6.5 PRC for a treestand gun and to carry out west. That Bergara ain’t lightweight. It’s definitely a shooting house rifle.

The high left shot was the fouling shot. Should have shot a 4th and discarded it. Probably would have been under 0.5”. Thanks to Cuz-Pat for the use of his fine shooting facilities today.

You need handload that rig and really have some fun. The 143 ELDx is a fine killer tho. You will love the performance. I know I do.
