Yeah see I like the 6.5 PRC cause it's a 6.5-284 with better marketing and has more people/manufacturers supporting it. I just like the super skinny bullets lol. A .264 150gr SMK is almost comical in shape lol. However, in my Mossberg Patriot Predator with a muzzle brake it still has a bit of a thump, about like a 270 Winchester... I also have a 270 and it's great. And don't get me wrong 30-06 is still my favorite caliber as I have an M1 Garand and it's sweet.
If you're a fan of 45-70 you need to get this. I've been dying for one, as you're guaranteed to be the kid on the block with this toy lol. Pricey but I gotta have it! Look at the muzzle energy, this thing would put a real hurtin on you.

The Phoenix Weaponry's AR Based .45-70 Auto - "Christine"
Phoenix Weaponry This is built on our billet RFL (308) upper/lower with a custom barrel and barrel bushing.
The 45-70 Auto cartridge is the brainchild of the Owner and Founder of Phoenix Weaponry, Aaron Cayce. Born from the original 45-70 government developed in the 1873, this modernized cartridge steps into the modern hunting game generating in excess of 4,000 ft-lb of energy at the muzzle. This cartridge because of its straight wall also fills the requirements for hunting with a semi auto rifle in the states of Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio. This is built on our RFL (308) upper/lower with a custom barrel and barrel bushing. This being said, we can build you one in any configuration, caliber, finish - we can do whatever you want, your budget permitting.
