6.5 Prc Vs 280 Ai - mautic

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.

The. 280 ai should be very.

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

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.

I think the 6. 5 prc would be too!

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

As an aside, the outfitter.

I get 3000 fps in the norma and 2952 fps.

Webi prefer the 280 ai.

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.

My main hang up.

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

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

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

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

From what i can tell they are fairly similar ballistically.

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

The. 280 sherman would also.

The 6. 5 prc and 280ai.

Web. 280 ai gets my vote between the 2.

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

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

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

From what i can tell they are fairly similar ballistically.

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

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

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

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,.

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

I won't be scampering for ammo last minute.
