    And very slow that slower than a .260 or Creedmoor which are both better options for shorter barrels.

    That's faster than an 18inch Creedmoor or .260 with Factory ammo which is what he's using.

    yep.1300 ft lb at 530 yards ish and close to 1200 at 600.not a bad little hammer.Needmoor would be low 2600s or even in the 2500s.

    why are you comparing factory with a hotted up load?its a stupid topic to discuss.compare a hotted up PRC to your 260 or creed and the nick name needmoor will become clear.

    Yeah my 18" Creedmoor is 2500 with 140eldm factory ammo. Kills very well.

    But only if you are using factory ammo in the .260 or Creedmoor.
    Being a reloader I can get more out of a Creedmoor or .260 with the same length barrel and using less powder than using factory loads in a 6.5prc which has more recoil and more powder.
