Custom 6.5 prc

[dlerma161]

What size of the defiance action did you get? Do you need an intermediate action for the 6.5 PRC?

So how does it shoot /

 

[762x51]

as my buddy wayne campbell says, "schwing!"

Sweet. Only if it was a 6.5 Creedmoor.

Having owned a 6.5x284 and currently owning a Creed if I was buying a 6.5 now it would be the PRC over either of those .I handload so having to shoot factory is off the table and the specs of the cartridge are just better in my opinion. I like my Creed just wish it had more oomph

Stepping in....
You do not need an intermediate, since the defiance has about .400 more inlet with wyatts extended cut.

I'm glad you came along and made this comment.
Can you tell me why you'd go with the prc over the 6.5x284?
I see why on the CR.

I'm thinking of picking up a new rifle. Was thinking a 300wm but the 6.5s are catching my attention.

Thanks! Pretty excited to get it mounted up and out to the range. My next was going to be just like this but 300PRC with a proof, but I really like the look of that lilja.

Let us know how it shoots. Its always nice to see fellow Coloradans on here. I've never had mile high build anything, but have bought lots of supplies and several cans there.

I think the case design of the prc is better. Honestly I found the 6.5x284 somewhat finicky to load for so that skews my thinking a little bit. I viewed lapua brass as a pro and a con

After the barrel went I rebarrelled to 280ai for something heavier in a standard LA and paper punch with the Creed in an xlr chassis

Beautiful rifle for sure, thanks for posting it up.

 

[foul bore]

really nice, I would be excited too

 

[Good]

sweet rig man. I want to build something similar.

 

[Boman]

Absolutely beautiful rifle build. I've decided on a 6.5 PRC too. It just seems more useful than a creed. Good to see so many Coloradans in this post. Mile high is a great shop. I've only had them do a little work but it was done well and in a timely fashion. They are getting most of my work from now on. **** fine rifle.

Just picked up my new 6.5PRC built by Mile High Shooting Accessories. Couldn't be happier as the rifle came out better than I had hoped for. I'll be putting a Vortex AMG with NF Ultralight Rings.

You're gonna be blown away by how accurate its gonna be. My Deviant XM, Proof 26in Sendero, no brake was 1/2 MOA with factory stuff, not even breaking a sweat. I'm shooting the first hand loaded groups today, 58.9 gr H1000 over 143 ELDX.
