I don't understand why I keep watching these types of cartridge videos from Ron Spomer... It's all more of the same when comparing cartridges. Focusing on very small differences between cartridges and elaborating on them. We are totally nerding out on this topic. Hours of my life that I will never get back. Hats off to Ron Spomer for finding a way to keep it interesting. He just articulates things in such an effective way that keeps your interest locked down. I think Captivation is his most valuable talent. Great writer and story teller

I was load testing my 6.5 PRC when the old range officer starting asking about the specs of the cartridge. This dude is in his 80’s and has forgotten more about hard loading than I’ll never know. When I’m done breathlessly describing my new toy, he smiles and says, “That’s has nearly the same case capacity and muzzle velocity as my old 6.5-06 wildcat. But, the action is shorter.” That essentially sums up the 6.5 PRC. Same capability, shorter length.

6.5-06 has been around since 1913 as the 257 Newton, but was SAAMI spec in the 80's by A-Square and called the 6.5-06. That means it's not a wildcat. Unfortunately A-Square went out of business and no other company make ammo for it... yet. LOL I've had a 6.5-06 for years and it shoots great.

One thing to remember, before anyone took the 3006 case and necked it down to 277 and made the 270 winchester, Newton necked the 30-06 down to 6.5/264 cal in 1913. He named it the 257 Newton because back then they measured the bore and not the grooves. It was later saami spec by A-Square and called the 6.5-06 A-Square. I think Newton saw the 6.5x55 Swede and how good it was and Americanized it by using the 3006 case.

The 270, in my opinion, remains one of the most versatile hunting calibers for North American big game. If you're into ringing steel, well, you can do that too with modern powders and bullet selections for the 270.
@RonSpomerOutdoors

Right you are, Hal. Too many shooters seem to be of the opinion that a cartridge design nearly 100 years old can't compete with more modern designs. Guys, its just a powder reservoir. Certainly it limits powder quantity, but the old cases can burn the same powders as the new and push the same bullets (withing twist limits.) Another myth is that you need a tricked out PRS "long range" platform rifle to hit anything beyond 500 yards. I've smacked plenty of plates from 600 to 1,000 with ordinary hunting rifle and scopes. I'm not going to win any competitions, but I have fun and learn/improve as I go.

The 6.5x55 case doesn't fit well into any US rifles. I think the 6.5x55 came out in 1895, and in 1913 Newton made an American version by necking down the 30-06 case. It was called the 257 Newton and later changed to 6.5-06. For some reason not that many people bought one. I have one and know a few others that do.

@@vikingsoftpaw - yes and yes, but with a twist. Similarities abound, except when you look at factory ammunition on the 6.5x55 Swede is designed for a slower barrel twist rate. The 6.5 PRC ammunition is designed for a faster 1:8 barrel twist to stabilize the longer bullets with high BC. That's the primary difference even with the 6.5 PRC vs 270 Winchester. Since most people don't reload, they simply buy factory ammunition for their rifles, modern bullet geometry needs to match modern barrels. It's kind of like the .38 vs .357 case length. You can achieve .357 velocity out of a .38 with modern powder, but you will likely destroy an older weaker metallurgy .38 special revolver. So the .38 factory ammunition is loaded weak to be usable in the older revolvers without creating dangerous issues. Those manufacturers reserve the modern powders for the .357 where you can't accidentally load into your old .38 spl.

I'm out in the Southern Part of Africa. Most popular rifles at our rifle club are 308, 300wm,, 30-06 and 243. Most guys use 243 and 6.5 creedmore for competitive shooting. Have not seen any other 6.5 varients here yet. Also never seen a 7mm 08 yet, which is the only other calibre I want. My wife and I have rifles in the following calibers 7mmrm, .243 .375, 30-06, .223 and ,303 British (heirloom). My go to rifle is the 7mmrm for everything, which unfortunately means where possible head and neck shots when hunting smaller game like impala and springbok (due to meat damage). Maybe the 6.5 "magnum" is my answer, but want to look into the 7mm 08, unfortunately a decision to acquire either will be challenged by poor ammo availability. I'll wait to see if either gains traction in popularity over the next year or so.

Most standard calibers in the .303British, to the .30-06 and the 6,5 Carcano, 6,5 Arisaka, 6,5 Swedish/Norwegian will do the same job. 6,5x55 have taken everything from polar bears and seals to moose and everything smaller. Today, even smaller bore is used, as the .243 is a most common caliber for deer in North America. For the average hunter it is more about availability of ammunition and cost than anything else. Good ammunition that don`t bruise half of the animal comes second. All of the mentioned is very capable on deer sized animals. For a sudden stop of a larger animal, there are the .358 Weatherbys, Rigbys, Lotts and magnums. The spectrum of calibers available is immense. With new bullet tech today, the lethality is the same, but the bruising is about none. You put out some of the best videos out there Ron. Please keep them coming!

The 280 AI is what the 280 Remington should have been in the first place. Just my opinion. But the 30-06 and 270 are just two established standards that are available, reasonably priced, and been getting it done with aplomb for many decades.

I’m from Texas and I’m not sure I’m ready to change my .270 WSM gor a 6.5 prc any time soon since the Prc are so hard to find on the shelves but always so confident on my .270 WSM to get the job done .

270 has always been my caliber, but I'm definitely shooting my 6.5 prc now.

The same thing was said by 270 Win owners when the 7 Rem Mag was introduced in 1962!

Can you cover the 6.5-300 Wthby mag? If you already did, let me know. Thanks. Always looking forward to your videos!! Give your dog a big hug for me!! I miss my two German Shepherds. Over the years they started getting old and both developed hip dysplasia. Such a horrible disorder that's highly prevalent in Shepherds! I've been a dog lover since I was born! First dog I had was a Golden retriever mix my dad got for me when I was born. When my male Shepherd passed on last year, I ended up with...cats!! Yikes!!! I'm already looking for another dog, lol!

It's the 6.5 Grendel that got people talking about 5.56 vs 6.5 Grendel initially. Creedmoor came later I think.

Just finished Empire of the Summer Moon. Life on the Plains was so brutal. Crazy that those tribes had no word for surrender. Death was expected if they didn't win the fight. Started reading Lonesome Dove after that. 1/2 through.

I think your article on the fast-twist 270 barrel makes a lot of sense. Main difference between 6.5 PRC (or the next hot cartridge) and the 270 win (or the 30-06 et. all) is ammo availability. On the other hand, if you started making all 270 win barrels in 1:8 twist, you'd have access to all existing ammo and could hand load the new high BC bullets for the 6.8 Western. Really a do everything rifle. Edit: sorry it was an article; it was a question by a viewer.

I friend of mine ( a successful businessman ), owns a customised .270 with a 23" , 8.25" twist barrel. That beast throws those 170g Berger's like like ...well ... a 300 yd moose round should.

I think it all comes down to twist rate. Perhaps SAAMI should consider steepening the standard twist rate of nearly every cartridge more than 20 years old. I was subscribed to you, Ron, but when you mentioned it in this vid, I looked and found that YT unsubscribed me. I recall that it has happened with other channels in the past as well. Anyway, I re-upped! Thanks, Ron!

I think it says something about a cartridge when new cartridges compare themselves to you. Ie. "This new 6.5 whiz-bang is the same as the .270 Winchester. This cartridge is equivalent to the 30-06 Springfield... This has ballistics like the .308 Winchester." It's great when new cartridges come out; but I doubt they will ever replace either of those "oldies" mentioned. Nothing against experimenting, but something that works, just works!

.270, 25-06, all these older flat shooting cartridges are great but it's clear no one was thinking about higher BC projectiles and tighter twist rates back then. The PRC is the thinking mans long range cartridge.

Got into the 6.5 PRC because I’m already invested with 6.5 bullets because of my 6.5X55. My Bergara in 6.5prc has a thick barrel for long range target shooting.

My pap and my dad shot 270 for years my dad had a 7mm rum and though it wasn’t that necessary for around where we are you’d be lucky to ever get near a 300 yard shot at a deer most of ours are within 150 yards easily but he switched to the 300 win mag because he actually had a few rounds of 270 get deflected in thicker brush and the 300 helped prevent that for us so we love that round but he’s taken 40-50 deer in his youth with a 270 and my pap has killed over a hundred sometimes things ain’t broke so you don’t need to fix it
