Just got an email today from Euro Optic about a number of Christensen Rifles, including MPR, being available in 6.5 PRC. Link goes to all Christensen so here is 6.5 PRC search - https://www.eurooptic.com/search.aspx?keyword=6.5+PRC
I have an MPA in 6.5 PRC. Another thread around here on the same subject matter. Evidnetly there is another brass mfg that is in the game now, but it's pricey, at least for me.
i'd buy a tikka in 6.5 PRC, or 7PRC (when/if it comes out), or 300PRC
Rumor mill is saying more braa companies to come. Last I heard ADG was testing some 6.5 Saum and 6.5 PRC. Pure rumor at this point, but I'm optimistic. That being said, don't have my barrel yet so I havent gotten to put the Hornady through it's paces yet.
Comes in 6.5 PRC and loves factory Hornady ammo to boot.

PVA John Hancock rifle has a 26"bbl for a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 24" for a 6.5 PRC ,why not 26"
I have a Ruger AICS pattern mag that I bought...2.89 COAL. I sized some down to 2.88 and all I did was loose about 50fps (2970). Still sub .5 at 200 (little under 1 inch 5 shot group).
So, just because the Factory is 2.955, if you handload, you can probably bump the factory down for brass if you feel like it, then do your load workup for shorter COAL. I already have a .08 jump to lands with factory and am not having any issues (I gotta double check that number, but it sounds right)
I am on my 4th reload on Hornady brass and still no case stretch, and tight primer pockets. Ran out of RL26, so my shooting has stopped with 400 rounds in the bank until I either find some, or suck it up and try a different powder.

Because the 24" shoots a lot better with factory ammo.
If you want a longer barrel we make custom rifles too.
you dont need 26" to reach a higher velocity then the creedmoor and equal velocity to the saum in 24".
Got my hands on a Sauer 100 Ceratech in 6.5 PRC last week and spent some time behind it at the range this weekend. Initial impressions are it's a very nice rifle! Fit and finish are very nice, the cerakote is appreciated, trigger was really pretty decent preset from the factory and will apparently adjust down if desired, and it shot very well with Hornady factory ammo. Both ELDM's and ELDX's were right about 1/2" 5 shot groups at 100 yards.
