[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 2261338, member: 55944"] If less recoil is your goal the 6.5 prc is the way to go. The two cartridges achieve roughly 3,000fps the 280ai shooting 160-170gr bullets and the 6.5 shooting 140-150gr bullets. The lighter bullet will have less recoil. But the bigger bore will wear less and the barrel will last longer. With a muzzle brake both are not bad recoiling rounds. I would take the 280ai over the 6.5 prc for hunting purposes because bigger bullets tend to kill better. But since you already have a 300 prc I’d take that hunting and get an even lighter recoiling caliber that’s easier on barrels for target shooting like a 6.5 creedmoor. If you already have a creedmoor I’d go with the 280ai and have a good middle ground between the 6.5 creed and the 300prc. If barrel life isn’t an issue the 6.5prc will make a fun steel shooting gun.
