    Been on the hunt for a new hog/ deer rifle, been told that the creedmoor is that way to go. I’ve heard a lot of guys talk up about the PRC and I’ve been told it’s all around a better bullet. Do any of y’all have thoughts or opinions on this?

    I'm assuming you mean 6.5PRC?

    The 6.5CM is plenty for hog/deer. 6.5PRC is the same bullet. Just more velocity/ftlbs. Of course, it's dependent on what distance you plan on shooting at. I'm not a big advocate of LR animal hunting.

    If you want something super fast and hard hitting- 6.5PRC

    Want something adequate, cheaper and just as accurate- 6.5CM

    Gotcha. I was looking at some ammo prices and some websites have them going for the same prices

    Are either available?

    6.5CM ammo is spotty to find at best. 6.5 PRC is even worse from what I hear.

    Honestly the 6.5CM is more than plenty for hunting at normal hunting distances.

    Yea but if you buy a 6.5cm you have to buy a pair of rollerblades and assless chaps :laughing: jk btw for all you 6.5cm cultists.

    But seriously between these two, 6.5cm is the way to go. 6.5 PRC isn't as common and I bet youd have a harder time finding ammo for it.

    I havent seen too much 6.5cm on the shelves since the corona happened though. If you want to come back to God's light, there is always .308...

    Pigs aren't hard to kill so no magnum is necessary unless you really want one.

    True! I've killed plenty with 22mag and 5.56. The "hog hammer" ammo is so laughable marketing. Inside 500 yards 5.56 works just fine. My favorite rifle is a 264wm, so I'm a 26cal fan for sure. Are you looking at AR or BA guns for choice?

    I like the Hog Hammer ammo and I've killed many pigs with it. It has a low flash powder that I like in low light conditions with both thermal and IR optics. The projectile is designed to bust through thicker skin and bones. I shot one with a .308 where the bullet busted through the shoulder blade and the backbone, rear quartering shot angle. That would not have been possible with a traditional deer cartridge.
