New Hornady 6.5 PRC

[bboswell]

I did some water weight tests when our ammo came in a few weeks back. PRC had 2gr more capacity than 6.5-284. Not enough to make me switch if I was already running a 284. I'd consider it if starting from scratch, maybe.



I think with a little tweaking, the PRC case could offer a slight performance advantage over the GAP and the 284. The case head is already a better design than both. Working on a reamer now.

Is this really going to run in a short action or is going to need long action to get optimum performance?
