    Amen. Santa is one bad SOB. Repercussions are felt from November-January

      I’m a little hesitant because I’ve had to write some big checks to Uncle Sam the last few years.

          .260
          6.5 creed

          260 gets my vote!! I love my 260s. Good source of factory ammo as well.

          25-06 after that personally

          7mm08 after that.

            I was sure dreaming up either the 6.5prc or 280ai if those were options. Only have a 270 and 22-250 and do not hand load yet. My understanding, you can still shoot 280 in the ai. Little concerned whether 6.5prc will take off and the availability of ammo but it is hornady marketing it

            But I think it will be hard to convince the wife that a custom rifle is need at this time. To many irons in the fire but have until February to think or dream about it. Either way, thanks APR for the offer.

              Y'all are thinking too big!

              22-250AI would be sexy

                For you guys thinking about the 260 that don't hand load, I'm about to sound like a broken record when I say consider the 6.5CM. I know, I know.....everybody is hating on it because its the flavor of the month and is being pushed EVERYWHERE. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of hearing about it too. But facts are facts, and it backs up its promise of performance in its intended place. It offers the SAME level of performance as the 260 in factory ammo, with the benefits of fitting in your mag box, large and available ammo selection that is continuing to grow, which most of the time is cheaper and you'll be hard pressed to find any of it that doesn't shoot lights out.

                  Me too. It also just doesn't appear to add a whole lot of performance* over what the 6.5 CM can do. The 6.5 SAUM/GAP4s looked like a more meaningful difference, but now with the PRC out I have even more concerns about their viability.

                  *Pushing a 143 ELD-X at 3100fps from a 22" barrel would be a meaningful boost over 6.5 CM. But 2960/24"? Meh. (https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/r...sion-hunter#!/)

                    Well looks like I’m all bark and no bite.

                    Tons of number crunching just couldn’t get me somewhere I would be happy financially (which isn’t the best currently with my spending habits ) so I’ll be envying you guys from the side lines and following for all the cool builds

                      The real world difference between the PRC and the GAP is about 50fps. Which amounts to about the same variance you could see between 2 different barrels. If you want PRC performance in something that is sure to stick around, look no further than the 6.5-284

                          So have you worked out any kinks in your 7mm APR?

                          This one has me interested still.

                              Ditto, I have an older Marlin mr-7 and it shoots the 117 like a bat out of hell.
                              They’ve been just as easy to find as any .243 or .270 ammo around here.

                                25-06 will fit good for your children.
