[QUOTE="Ron Milby, post: 1847246, member: 102814"] Both are great choices. I personally just purchased the same two calibers these last few months. I have about 60 rounds through the 300 Norma Imp using a mild fire forming loads for the brass. The mild loads are extremely accurate using Lapua brass, H1000, CCI 250, and Berger 215 Hybrids. Interesting enough, my 300 Norma Imp also has the NF NX8, Kelbly action and a Proof barrel. So far, I love the scope and setup. I was able to make cold bore shoots at 950, 1250, and 1660 yards with the fire forming load. I should get the 6.5 PRC up and running this weekend. I plan to start with RL26 and H1000 powder with ADG brass and Berger 144 LR Hybrid bullets. I put a NF NXS 2.5-10x42 on it. The bare rifle weighed 6.5 pounds. My guess is with the scope and rings, it will be around 8.5 pounds. I plan to use it as a sight and stalk gun. Send me a PM and I can give you the details of my 300 Norma Imp fire forming load. Once I get through fire forming my 100 rounds of brass, I plan to start load development. This will allow the barrel to finish speeding up. Good luck with your builds! [/QUOTE]
