6.5 Weatherby RPM (Pet Loads) Handloader Magazine
The factory velocities can be beat by judicious handloading; the Hornady manual lists velocities as high as 3150 fps with a 140-grain bullet, albeit with a 26-inch barrel. My own experiences have shown a 24-inch barreled rifle giving just about 3025 fps with a 143-grain Hornady ELD-X bullet.

Savage 110 Tactical. As for a dedicated precision 6.5 PRC rifle, Savage offers the most affordable option by far. Decked out with some nice features, the 110 tactical more than has what it takes to send the magnum 6.5 flying. Chief among these—aside from the proven 110 action—is a 24-inch heavy carbon steel barrel.

The 6.5 PRC holds about 28% more powder than the 6.5 Creedmoor. Through a 24" barrel it's supposed to send Hornady 143-grain ELD-X bullets 2,960 fps, but my Hill Country Rifles custom M70 averaged only 2,887 fps with 3-shot groups huddling .75" to MOA.These were factory loads. Hornady's 147-grain ELD-Match loads averaged.

This is similar as well to the 260 Rem/6.5CM scenario, whereas the 6.5 Swede cannot be fit into a short action. As for availability, with the PRC being the newer cartridge, and the fact that only one manufacturer has built a rifle on 6.5 Rem Mag in a limited number in the past 40 or so years.the win will go to the PRC as manufacturers get.

The 6.5 RPM ditches the traditional belt and venturi shoulder that have come to symbolize Weatherby cartridges in favor of a rebated .473-inch rim and a 35-degree shoulder. Despite their similarities, the 6.5 PRC and 6.5 RPM are opposites in some regards.

That's a larger difference than between a .30-06 and a .300 win mag, of course more powder is required, and with that comes more recoil. Imo, the RPM case (and 264 WM) represent the upper end of useable case capacity for the 6.5 bore, 6.5-300 and 26 Nosler are just a bit too much of a good thing to me.

The Recoil of the 6.5 PRC vs. 6.8 Western. Felt recoil depends on several factors. The gun, bullet weight, powder load, and shooter all have a part to play. The 6.5 PRC round has noticeably less recoil than the 6.8 Western cartridge. At 30.1ft-lbs of free recoil energy, the 6.8 Western roughly has 30% more recoil than the 21.6ft-lbs of the 6.5 PRC.

I have zero interest in anything that overbore but I seriously doubt the claimed discrepancy in the capacities of those two cases. The 300 Weatherby is around 99 grains the 28 Noser is about 102-103. They claim the 6.5-300 is 98. the 28 uses the exact same case as the 26 just smaller neck.

36. Either will do exactly what you want. Flip a coin. As far as mono bullets, they are all I shoot anymore. A little less bullet weight and higher velocity is the key. You have to set aside the old bullet weight ideas of the past. The 127LRX from a PRC will do very will on an elk, so would a 139LRX from a 280ai. 1.

It's called the 6.5 RPM. No one is exactly sure of the exact case dimensions as of yet, but it appears to be possibly a stretched 6.5- 284 Norma. The rebated case has a conventional shoulder of around 35 degrees, no belt and a length somewhere around 2.5-2.6 inches. Doing the math the case capacity should be around 82 grains which is the same.
