Yeah I forgot that PRC = Magnum CMPRS faggots were the bane of 6 ARC for a bit there. Haven't fired it in a while so hard to say if ammo is still as scarce. Conceptually the idea of 6mm ARC or 6mm Max are interesting. I only have experience with the ARC round but of all the compromises either of the 6mm new AR-based cartridges make, the most damning is this: market establishment. It's damn hard to catch up to the 5.56 in that department. As I've said before, I had hoped 6 ARC would offer me an AR capable of 0-600m target engagement and still be reasonably capable of fighting in a cramped urban environment. It can definitely do the first one and even if it could do the second one, we all know for sure that 5.56 works well there, is easy as fuck to get hold of, and has a shit ton of market support.
6.5 PRC is definitely still around and I'd consider it 6.5 CM Magnum. It can run a slightly heavier bullet a bit faster, giving it a flatter trajectory out a bit farther than CM. If you're shooting at steel or paper even well into LR distances I don't see compelling reasons to go for the PRC over the CM. If you're interested in ballistic effects on live targets well out into LR distances, the PRC will offer you a heavier bullet with a better BC and a bit more velocity = fuck shit up better farther away. I like running mine suppressed as it's less disruptive to me and helps to tame the rather mild recoil.
That said I already have a nice Tikka .308.... So a 6.5 CM is just what I need
