[QUOTE="Todd Gansel, post: 2465141, member: 107021"] I like 6.5s. I have a few but my first one I got 20 years ago was a 264WM. I run a 26" Lilja on a Winchester action and a B&C stock. It still is my big game rifle of choice outside of river bottom white tails. I own a 6.5 CM and it nice but about 500fps slower than my WM. It is still a good caliber easy to shoot and very capable. I also own a 6.5 Grendal but haven't stretched its legs yet. I built a 6.5WSM for a friend, might have to do one for me. 6.5x284 and the PRC are very similar and don't forget the 6.5/06AI or 260. I will own one of each as I'm a 6.5 whore. Today's day and time it's difficult to find alot of brass but I've seen 264WM brass in the store last week. The 264 is best when you don't headspace off the belt and will last longer. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. When you start looking at BC and SD the 30 cal doesn't catch up till you get into a 200gr or higher bullet typically. I'm sure there are exceptions now but that a general rule. [/QUOTE]
