That’s the question that I have to ask myself! I have a hankering for the 7 PRC, but I already own a STW. It’s perfectly happy pushing 175’s to 3150 fps. Mine is a
9” twist so it is not likely going to be compatible with heavier bullets though. I would expect the modern PRC case design will be more accurate and a bit less finicky to load for. I’m completely out of magazine space to get close to the lands of my REM 700 with many bullets, so the shorter case would help that issue.
Basically I have been holding off due to the complete lack of brass. The 6.5 PRC has been around for a few years now and brass is still very difficult to locate.
