6.5 Prc Vs 280 Ai - forums

The. 280 sherman would also.

Webi prefer the 280 ai.

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

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

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

After seeing what it does on elk, i.

I'll take whichever one i shoot best.

The 6. 5 prc and 280ai.

I get 3000 fps in the norma and 2952 fps.

I think the 6. 5 prc would be too!

The. 280 ai should be very.

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.

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

My main hang up.

The 6. 5 prc and 280ai.

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

From what i can tell they are fairly similar ballistically.

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

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

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

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.

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.

My main hang up.

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

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

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.

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

From what i can tell they are fairly similar ballistically.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

I won't be scampering for ammo last minute.
