This question can be seen differently if you are new to hunting/shooting. Imagine buying your very first rifle right now. If you did a basic level of research and then went to a gun shop, you would probably end up with one of the PRC flavors.
5-10% “better” is a real number in truck horsepower, or your annual income. There really isn’t a 5-10% more dead when hunting. Those numbers sell things to people who don’t really know.
Those that do know enjoy the experimentation.
I bought a 6.5 creedmoor in 2017 because a variety of people said it is a great caliber for kids. I needed a rifle for a 12 year old. It is a great caliber for kids. That was the beginning of a spree of rifle purchases. Now that I’m a few years wiser, I would still have bought the 6.5CM because now ammo availability is excellent.
Today, ammo availability nationally and internationally is a major factor in my consideration. 7 rm mag, .375H&H, .270 Win, .300 WM, and the 6.5CM are all safe selections and are what we use. Give the PRC 10 years and if it is like the 6.5CM, then awesome!
