Well, spill your guts for cryin’ out loud before Burns comes back and starts hanging ancient pics again… So I brought Tunner back from the classifieds. Nice. Welcome Back. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q90/923/G79HJa.jpg) I had to mix it up a bit this year and used my 6 Creed on my ram. My wife let me borrow her 6.5x47 for my elk hunt… ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/g26Nx8yJ/06-AB8726-6-CBC-4-C9-E-881-B-1-CCAC5-A671-F1.png) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/c4CDNVrf/6-CAD1-E3-C-2270-4-FC9-B6-FC-4535-F75-EECA5.png) Good stuff. Colorado ram?

Same mountains that the elk came from.

Having owned several 300 WMs and currently own two 7mm RMs, I think the 7mm PRC is the best of both worlds. 180 projectiles have a higher BC in the 7mm, the case is a "modern design" (sans belt, less taper, sharper shoulder, caliber length neck) and is well suited for longer bullets. I can't imagine a better Rocky Mountain Mule deer / Elk cartridge.

I'm thinking a .270-6.5 PRC using 140 Bulldozers. Recoil very similar to 6.5 PRC with 143 ELDX, .650 bc, 50-80 fps faster, greater frontal area, Remington 700 short action, 7lb weight including scope. Or the .277 150 Bulldozers with .710 bc at 3050 fps using the .270 WSM case. I can get 4 in the mag easily with the .270-6.5 PRC case, but can't get the first of the 4 rounds to feed right, the other 3 feed good. Three WSM rounds feed good.

I can't imagine a better Rocky Mountain Mule deer / Elk cartridge. This is how I'm seeing the 7 prc. The other prc rounds are almost too long for most actions. The 7 leaves you plenty of room in most LA actions. I like the shoulder angle and the belt less design along with the tighter throating specs and faster twist barrels. I was thinking a anTi action and a 22" 8 twist fluted #4 brux before defiance raised their prices $600. Mag have to go back to an origin even though the top isn't as open as I like. At least they can eject flat instead of into my windage turret and back in the action. Bb
