I built my 6.5-284 on pre-64 with 26” Krieger, long before the PRC round came out. I like the 6.5-284 and Lapua brass. If building today, I’d look at the PRC, not sure which round would win out. Both are good. And 8 twist is where it’s at, at least for me. I shoot mostly 140 Hunting VLD’s to good effect.
If I was less of a Loony, it may get more hunting time. Right now, I’m on a ladder stand with my Hart/Hunters Edge 7-08, shooting 140 SGK HPBT with which I killed a 120# fat doe at last light yesterday.
