[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1587112, member: 103947"] A buddy just built a 6.5 PRC and at the same time I was re barreling my 6.5-284 as the second set back on my current barrel expired. He went with the same barrel I have been using ( Broughton) for his build so our guns we're done about the same time. Both using the same barrels, length, bullets and powders, wound up pretty much identical in performance thru the chrono. ES/SD were better in the 6.5-284 but very little load development had been done at the time. This was after break in (150 rds ). I'd stick with the 6.5- 284 simply due to having thousands of pieces of brass. I wanted the PRC to out perform my 6.5-284 so I had a decent reason to make a change to that chamber but just wasn't the case. His rifle is very accurate and pleasant to shoot as well. I'll eventually jump into the PRC but for now, I'm good. [/QUOTE]
