[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2411443, member: 121641"] For anyone claiming the prc does anything new that some of the others don't here's a few facts to consider. 6.5x284 case capacity is 66.8 grains with lapua brass, has a 35 degree shoulder and minimal taper. Also brass is available everywhere, try finding any prc The 6.5 PRC is 68 grains with Lapua brass, has a 30 degree shoulder which is less ideal in terms of case growth and has clicker issues with factory reamers. There's no way 1.2 grains capacity advantage translates into any real world speed advantage, at best maybe 30-50 fps all things equal The 6.5 saum however has a capacity of 73 grains, and the velocity advantage over both of the others is more pronounced. Albeit still fairly minor at 100-150 fps All good choices in this redundant 6.5 arena [/QUOTE]
