Ran the numbers at the moderate velocities I would load for the PRC and 284. At 700 yards (which is as far as I would ever shoot in perfect conditions) the PRC is about 200fps and 200 foot pounds...

Thats impressive thinking, whatever floats our boat, with humanity above everything

162eldm out of a tikka at 2770fps, truth is it probably has more killing power than the prc.

6.5 at 2000fps plus seems to be the key, it seems below that the slower killing comes into play.

Good stuff, last few days a mate shot a decent sized Sika hind at 700 with the 6.4prc/147eldm and smoked it with an impressive exit wound. Tuesday, I watched another mate with a 6.5x55 put a 143eldx...

I hunt with a 284 and shoot paper with a 6.5x55 and have been thinking about getting rid of one or the other. I think it's a fascinating conversation with the rise of 6.5's, some saying it makes no...

Recoil is massive for me for some reason, I get good results but it makes the preparation harder, zeroing, practice etc. I shot a sika hind at about 400 yards a while back with my mates 6.5x55...

Just got a message from a mate who put down a Sika at 700 yards with PRC (147eldm), be bloody cold up there this morning.

I imagine that part of the 6.5 thing at distance is at what point it stops being frangible, then you would expect considerably slower killing. The PRC would move that distance quite a way out from...

I have the 284 for hunting and a 6.5x55 for paper (and the eldms for both), I've always been skeptical about the 6.5 at distance but I was surprised by the numbers. Outside the size of the wound...

And you would think a 17% wider wound channel, I wonder if that's less important with frangible projectiles.

Hi guys...I use a 284 and send the 162 eldm off at about 2770. I was just running the numbers on the 147 eldm and launched at 2700 it has slightly more velocity and about 100 foot pounds less getting...
