Bigger around more powder. The 243 has a flatter trajectory up to 500 yards. From 700 to 1000 yards I can see a minor advantage to the 6.5 prc. 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. If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

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.

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.

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”.
