[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1526312, member: 29953"] I have a couple 6.5-284s and a 6.5 PRC built on a Defiance Rebel XM Medium action, 24" #1 contour Benchmark, Wildcat Stock, Its a beautiful rifle and a pleasure to shoot and of course accurate even with factory ammo. I'm having another one built on a Sako A7 7mm donor rifle, 26" HawkHill 1-9 twist, #3 contour barrel, can't wait to see what it will do. I really like the Lapua brass for the 6.5-284 so looking forward to some aftermarket 6.5 PRC brass to work with. I prefer cartridges with 30 deg shoulder angle or more so am a little jealous of your 260AI as the 280AI is one of my favourite cartridges and have a few rifles built on that cartridge. Other 6.5 cartridges that appeal to me are the 6.5 Sherman and 6.5 SST, 6.5-280AI, looking at building one of the 6.5 Shermans soon. But again absolutely nothing wrong with the 6.5 PRC as to me its a very sensible approach to a short mag 6.5 cartridge.....regardless of the naysayers. [/QUOTE]
