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

I get 3000 fps in the norma and 2952 fps.

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

Recommended for you

Webi think the 280 ai would be a fun mini elr rig and an effective western hunter.

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

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

After seeing what it does on elk, i.

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

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

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.

The 6. 5 prc and 280ai.

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

Webthrough my research, i’ve come across two calibers that intrigue me:

I'll take whichever one i shoot best.

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.

Web. 280 ai gets my vote between the 2.

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

The 6. 5 prc and 280ai.

From what i can tell they are fairly similar ballistically.

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

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

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

My main hang up.

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.

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

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

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

Webi prefer the 280 ai.

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

The. 280 ai should be very.

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

As an aside, the outfitter.

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

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

I won't be scampering for ammo last minute.

I think the 6. 5 prc would be too!

The. 280 sherman would also.

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,.
