[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2307324, member: 10291"] Why?….Hornady capitalized on what the 6.5x284(the ballistic twin to the 6.5PRC) devotees have realized for well over a decade. Riding on the shirt-tails of the successful 6.5 Creedmoor, Hornady, has applied a similar commercial strategy and has successfully brought a higher capacity, longer range 6.5 to the masses looking for a more potent 6.5 with “standardized”, quality factory ammo and broad based rifle-manufacturer adoption. At 2950-3050FPS using the wide variety of high quality/BC 130-160gr bullets, it is capable of exceptional accuracy, manageable recoil, easy to handload, with superb ballistic performance capable of effectively taking medium game to 1000+ yards. While a bit bigger and faster cartridge “might” make a difference in practical results, I agree with others that the performance of the 6.5PRC(6.5x284N) is in the “sweet spot”…IMO.. [/QUOTE]
