[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2699664, member: 10"] Its funny to hear some say the 6.5-284 is a throat eater and then say the 6.5 prc is the best thing since sliced bread…..😏 point being they are both good rounds. Both in the same class of performance for similar sized game. Rebated rim on the 284 needs a bit of attention to make sure feeding is reliable but not generally an issue. I really do like the 6.5-284. Been very underwhelmed by the performance of the prc. Would rather go with a 6.5 wsm personally but if handloading is not an option, the prc has more merit. again, both good rounds in the same performance class in my opinion. Used properly, great barrel life as well. Right now 284 certainly has better brass. You should try the peterson 6.5-284 brass. All i use now and used to use lapua exclusively, not any more. Good to have a quality USA made option for brass. [/QUOTE]
