[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1887132, member: 103947"] I'm building a long range hunter rifle in 6.5-284. I would have considered 6.5 PRC except I have so much new 6.5-284 and 284 brass that I'll never use it all if I don't build another 284 based cartridge. Not seeing any HUGE advantage of the PRC over it so I'll stick with what's been working great. Proof carbon barrel, Pierce Ti action, Mesa precision stock, Luepy VX5HD 3-15 optic. Brings it in at under 8lbs loaded, slinged and ready to haul. I posed the same question on which gun for antelope. Wyoming first hunt prompted my question. IMO today, anything from .223 on up using proper bullets and placement gets it done as I saw out west. The 6.5s offer probably the best BC bullets combined with low recoil of most set ups. It's a great choice. [/QUOTE]
