[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2780077, member: 91783"] I suspect that the 6.5 264 diameter 90 grain bullets would work good in a 6.5 PRC in an 8-twist barrel depending on the powder, seating depth ect. . Hornady has some factory loads with 95 grain V-MAX for the Creedmoor that run 3300 muzzle velocity out of a 1;8 twist 20 " barrel pretty good. I ran some 120 grain Nosler ballistic tips in my 6.5x284, 1;9 twist 26-inch barrel with good results and from what I gather the PRC is an improved version, using a different case with a different shoulder angle and a few other improvements, so it should like a lighter well-made bullet. MKP77 the only reason you would need taller mounting rings is that the scope was touching your action or barrel, As Brother Buckwheat said you needed to have a tapered base or picatinny rail to mount your scope at an incline thus causing your reticle to be raised higher giving you more adjustment for elevation with it.
