I’ve got a LEGIT.250 MOA 6.5/284. But I can’t get anything close to the velocity of the PRC. Once this barrel is shot out I may go tha route.

Josh - is that 6.5-284 built on a long action or a short action? In a long action you should be able to work the chamber to get velocity close to what 257 is running with the 6.5PRC but not quite. Close enough though. Gallagher knows what to do he reamed mine.

I think this 6.5 PRC thing is about to get some legs on it and run away with the market I think.


Long action. I don’t build anything on a short action lol. I’ve got right around 600 rounds down the pipe. I won’t sink anymore money into that barrel but will keep that in mind for the next.

I was talking to a friend about his 6.5x284 and his handloads using H4831SC another fellow I did not know was bragging about his 6.5 PRC handloads using IMR 4350 and was getting 2870 fps. I thought to myself Hornady Precision Hunter ammo will get you over 2900 fps with a 147 gn. bullet. Besides the barrel burning 26 Nosler the 6.5 PRC is easily able to get to 3000 fps.

If he’s running a prc that slow he’s wasting his time with it

Needs to burn a slower powder than 4350 in that 6.5 PRC to reach it's potential.
