6.5 Prc Vs 280 Ai - chat

I don’t think the 6. 5 prc would have been a wrong choice, but it just.

The 6. 5 prc and 280ai.

I'll take whichever one i shoot best.

Webi think the 280 ai would be a fun mini elr rig and an effective western hunter.

Web. 280 ai gets my vote between the 2.

Webi prefer the 280 ai.

My main hang up.

Webthrough my research, i’ve come across two calibers that intrigue me:

Webthe 7mm rm is a belted case that requires a mag bolt face (which you have) along with a long action stroke.

The 6. 5 prc and 280ai.

The 280 ai requires a standard bolt face and a long.

Webyour 6. 5x284 and the 6. 5 prc have near identical case capacity, so you should get close velocities from the same barrel length.

Webheavier bullets prevail when hunting elk from experience, 300 wm is idea elk cartridge and if i had my choice between a 6. 5 prc with 140 gr bullet and a 280 ai.

I get 3000 fps in the norma and 2952 fps.

With rl26, you can basically match the performance of the norma with 140 gr bullets.

Webbetween the 2 choices you've narrowed it down to, i'd personally go with the 280ai, factory ammunition choices are scarce for both, but if that's the only downfall,.

As an aside, the outfitter.

The prc is a magnum bolt face and the 280 is a standard if im not mistaken.

The. 280 ai should be very.

I was in you boat a few years ago and decided the 280 ai was a better fit for me.

The. 280 sherman would also.

I won't be scampering for ammo last minute.

Webthe 6. 5 prc will have more loads available, it is the current darling of the long range hunting crowd.

I know about cost and availability of ammo for both, but i'm a handloader and a planner.

Webi want a 280 ai myself but just can’t justify adding another rifle in a whole new caliber right now.

From what i can tell they are fairly similar ballistically.

Webthe 6. 5 prc is ballistically superior to the 280ai and 6. 5 cm.

After seeing what it does on elk, i.

I think the 6. 5 prc would be too!

Webi ran a few ballistic compares and the two are pretty close at 600 yards, in the 50ish inches range, 6. 5 prc edging the 280 ai by a few inches at 600, and a little on.

Webi'm trying to decide between 6. 5 cm and. 280 ai.

My main hang up.

I was debating between the two and went with a 6. 5 prc.

From what i can tell they are fairly similar ballistically.

Handloads performance is equal or better than a 7mm mag.

Webi had 6. 5 rpm (a little more oomph than prc), have a 280ai and 6. 5 cm, and just got a 6. 5 prc.

Ballistically it is slightly faster, and will have less drop at long.

Webthe 280 ai is new as a saami cartridge, but has been a popular wildcat since the 60s.

It comes close to a 7mm rem mag while using a standard bolt face,.

Webthe 280 ai (3050) is 200 fps faster than the 284 (2850).

That’s not a huge difference, but it’s a difference.
