[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1736726, member: 110773"] 10 years ago I found myself with a long action with a .473" bolt face. Turned it into a 6.5-06AI and it has proven itself to be a winner. Fire-forming .25-06 brass is no big deal as the fire-form loads are amazingly accurate. Loaded up 50 more yesterday. It runs neck and neck with a .264WM. Now I have a long-action with a .512" bolt head. Torn between 6.5PRC, .264 WM, 26 Nosler and 28 Nosler. The Nosler cartridges burn more powder and generate more recoil than I really want, so they are likely to go by the wayside. Probable winner is the 6.5 PRC as it is more modest in powder consumption and recoil and will do everything I need inside 600 yards for game. The .264 WM would probably be the winner but in the long run I think the PRC brass will be less expensive and more available. The PRC's shorter case will allow me to seat bullets further out.
