[QUOTE="Wilderness Blacktail, post: 1795839, member: 27906"] Before I'd go to a PRC I'd fully see what ur Creed is capable of. In a lot of rifles I'm not sure the difference is that big. My 26" CM pushes a 147 at 2880 with great accuracy and a 127 LRX at 2990 with great accuracy. It can go faster and I'm sure with a couple other powders I could get more speed with same grouping its just not needed. I've messed with the 143 a bunch in my first CM and judging by the comparisons between the 2 I ought get the 140 to close to 3000 in this one, Xbolt HC LR. I've seen quite a few 6.5-284 and 6.5PRC loads posted that aren't much better. Personally I'd rather two different cartridges as mentioned, 7mm? or at least two vastly different guns, short n handy vs longer n heavier. I currently have a 6.5CM and a 6.5-300wby, velocity difference with 127LRX is 400 fps but recoil difference is HUGE! Haha I can easily spot my hits with the creed and hardly at all with weatherby. The weatherby has a thinner barrel and is handier to handle which is why I bought it. If i had to do it from scratch I'd go 6.5PRC or 264WM and just have the 1. Take that for what it's worth lol.
