Contributor Philip Massaro explains why his cartridge of choice is—and always will be—vastly superior to yours.

If you’re in the market for a cartridge that will do double duty in both the hunting fields and on the target range, with a bit more horsepower than the Creedmoor provides, the 6.5 PRC is worth a hard look.
