[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1795313, member: 52437"] That might be accurate right now but factory ammo options will likely greatly increase. it seems the 6.5prc is starting to really take off. If it keeps going this way, there will no doubt be way more factory ammo Options for 6.5prc over 6.5x284. To the OP. I have both. I like them both. If doing a lot of target shooting id go with 6.5creed since it wont burn the barrel nearly as fast as the PRC. if you do not reload, then the 6.5creed gets the nod for factory ammo options. If hunting for whitetails and smaller inside 400 yards, the creedmoor gets the nod unless you want a very flat shooting round then the 6.5prc definitely gets the nod. If hunting whitetails past 400 yards then 6.5prc definitely gets the nod. If hunting anything larger than whitetail (elk black bear...etc) then again 6.5prc gets nod. Recoil is last consideration....65.creed is very light and pleasant to shoot. The 6.5prc is still a light-ish recoiler but definitely more than the creed. It is similar to a 308 with medium to heavier weight bullets in my opinion. if I personally had to choose one I would go with the 6.5prc but I reload and I don't high volume shoot so barrel burning is not a thought to me.
