[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1504691, member: 29953"] I have 2 6.5-284 built and no problem making 2900+ with R22/R26/R23 and a 140gr Bullet I also have a 6.5PRC 24” barrel and it shoots the Hornady factory ammo exactly at advertised velocities 2910-147gr ELD-M 2960-143gr ELD-X I will say it nice to have lots of factory options with loaded ammo for the 6.5-284 and just about every brass maker on board, I just received an email from Bertram Brass and 6.5PRC brass will be available by the end of Nov all going well. There’s many cartridge choices to achieve your velocity goals besides the two I mentioned. I’m building another 6.5 PRC as we speak on a SS Sako A7 7mm Rem Mag donor rifle 26” Hawk Hill #3 contour 1-8 barrel Total cost with labour to true&square action, adjust trigger chamber and install barrel and bead blast finish will be 1700.00 cdn.
