[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2276754, member: 103947"] I'll simplify this by stating my hunting buddy built a 6.5 PRC on a LA. His plan was to shoot the new Berger 156 EOL. After the build was complete and load development and break in was complete, his accuracy results and performance was identical to my 6.5-284. He's happy with it but thought it would be better performance wise. He can get more velocity than I do but accuracy gets ugly. I can maintain higher velocity and accuracy combined with mine as it seems to like the upper velocity node for accuracy. I prefer the 140s but with the 156, mine gets 3050 and .5s. I prefer the 140s around 2975-3000 fps which is plenty and keeps barrel life maximized. The 140s keep me in the .25" range to 800 yards in good days. I hope the 300 PRC I'm building offers better performance and accuracy than my 300WM did. It's pretty much the same comparison to the 6.5-284 vs 6.5 PRC. [/QUOTE]
