I’ve been playing with a 25 PRC for the past year and can’t find anything I don’t like about it. 133 Berger’s at 3280 fps is a great combination for long range hunting.

Build specs on my 284: Defiance AnTi XM & bottom metal Lilja #3 spiral fluted 1:8 20” with MBM Ti 3 port Trigger Tech Primary Manners UC Plus stock Hawkins ring mounts with NXS 2-10 (shown during load work with NX8) Had some feed issues with the Defiance mag box that took some tweaking...

My 284 coming in at 5.6 lbs and pushing 168 Berger’s at 2930 fps. The more I hunt with this rifle the more I only hunt with this rifle. Quickly has become my go to rifle. Low recoil and great accuracy. I’ve taken several elk and deer from 350 to 640 yards with zero complaints.

Not aligning with this test procedure but primers can be a big variable in tuning a load and should be tested if you have them available.

The 243 Win is an easy choice with all the brass options but the 6 Rem will take it any day on velocity. I grew up with the 6 mm and still stick with it because of that. Just wish there was more brass options. The 6mm AI gives the 6-284 a close run. One of the biggest gains in an Ackley.

Last year I built a 1:8 twist 270 AI by Alex Wheeler. 24" Krieger barrel and getting 2940 fps with a 170 Berger, 280 AI Peterson brass, and 58.4 gr of N560. I've been very happy with it so far. Just using my 280 AI dies with a smaller neck bushing.

I'm a huge fan of the 284 and all its wildcats but built a 25-6.5 PRC. Absolutely love it and incredibly accurate with the 133 Berger's at 3270 fps.

Brisk -57 wind chill this morning. It’s tough on the livestock out there. Only so much you can do for them.

Sold pending funds. Thanks

I have a couple Lone Peak Ti actions and love them. Prefer them over my AnTi for feel and function.

Weekend bump

140 Berger Elite Hunter. Many elk, several antelope and a few deer. Never needed a second shot out to 900 yards.

$100 price drop. Great rifle for the price
