[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2459511, member: 30902"] Better is entirely subjective. In the future brass for belted magnums will only become harder and more expensive to get. The PRC should not be nearly as hard on barrels as the .264. Ballistically you're within about 150fps so whatever you're shooting at isn't going to know the difference. Now step that up to a 6.5-300PRC and you have a round superior to either of the above but if you enjoy shooting it too much will require more frequent barrel replacements. Right now I shoot the 260 Rem and 6.5LRM and my next 6.5 will definitely be a 6.5-300PRC. I'll keep the .260's for high volume shooting and baby the 6.5-300PRC to the extent I can stand to do so or I might even have the smith go ahead and chamber and finish 2 barrels for it from the get go and then put another on order every time I have to replace one.
