[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1479482, member: 10291"] Being a long time proponent of the 6.5x284 with dozens of long range hunting successes, I must admit that I was very intrigued when the 6.5PRC was first announced. The primary draw for me was the fatter case which “initially” implied its use in a true short action. Many still believe that this is the case. Unfortunately, like the 6.5x284, optimum performance was not achievable unless high BC bullets could be seated further(+2.9”) out in order to use the case capacity......no-go with a true short action. Being a reloader for all my long range precision loads, the trade offs of the 6.5PRC that I “may” have considered(brass quality, re-tooling, etc) were the 6.5PRC was a true short action cartridge, did not balance out when considering my experience, success, and familiarity with the 6.5x284.
