[QUOTE="Raven81, post: 1434926, member: 28339"] I have a 6.5 X 284 built on a Pierce Ti and 26" PR Carbon. I haven't been that impressed with the cartridge either when compared to the 6.5 CM. However, I'm currently overseas and my Buddy is working on load development with RL16. He's easily getting 3100 FPS with 140 EH on a ladder and no signs of psi. So we'll see how the accuracy/SDs work out once he tweaks a flat spot and then plays with seating depth. But the winds out west have been crazy lately.[ATTACH=full]96758[/ATTACH] But if I had to do it again; I'd build a 6.5 PRC off a Lone Peak Fusion Ti SA and be done with it. Once Hornady catches up with things, there will be factory 6.5 PRC 143 ELD-X ammo that will shoot as good as most hand loads. And actually, I'm leaning towards building one anyway, and may have this 6.5 X 284 up for sale soon, if it doesn't tighten up...Ha! [/QUOTE]
