Fastest 6.5 w/ 1k rnd barrel life?

Might take a look at Weatherby 6.5 RPM.

I would straight up give it a go if it didn't have Hornady brass!

Too small, it's even less than prc/saum.

6.5PRC and 6.5x284 have the same capacity.

6.5PRC and 6.5x284 have the same capacity.

Hmmm I thout it was half grain under the prc.

Perhaps it's brass dependent, but most of the data I've seen has them equal. The initial data for H2O capacity had the 6,5x284 with a .2gr advantage.comparing Hornady(6.5 PRC) to Lspua(6.5x284).

I dont know what the volume of 6.5x284 Brass is but the piece of formed Hornady 6.5 PRC brass I have measures 69gr h20, I thought the 6.5-284 was 67-68gr. Like you said though may be Brass dependent.

Close enough that the barrel will make a bigger difference. For all useful notions, they are essentially the same
