I Almost Bought a 6.5 PRC—Here’s Why I Didn’t
I almost bought a 6.5 PRC. The ballistics were incredible, the hype was real, and I was ready to build the ultimate elk, moose, deer, antelope, and bear rifle. But after digging into barrel life, recoil, and real-world hunting needs—I changed my mind.
In this video, I break down why I passed on the 6.5 PRC and explore five smarter alternatives that offer similar performance with less wear and are more practical. Whether you’re chasing elk, moose, mule deer, whitetail deer, pronghorn antelope, black bear or just want a rifle that lasts, this one’s for you.
🔥 Segments include:
• 6.5 PRC pros and cons
• Barrel burner breakdown
• Ethical hunting cartridge picks
