I have shot both 6mm Creedmoor and 6.5 Creedmoor, but ended up trading them away. I have experience shooting 3 gun and playing on long range but haven't shot a PRS match yet so I don't know if I am going to go all in yet but plan on building a rifle to try it out and to continue playing with long range.
I am trying to find some info on if anyone is using 6.5 PRC for PRS or is the recoil two much to deal with. I have been advised to just shoot 6.5 Creedmoor unless I am building strictly a hunting rifle but I go back and forth on which would be better. Because of the investment I would like to build something fun to play with at the range and do some hunting for fun when I don't have to carry it a country mile.... but I also realize you need a specific tool for a specific task. I have other rifles hunt with, so as I said this would be more of a all around play rifle.
1. Could you get away with attempting PRS with a 6.5 PRC with right loads and muzzle break?
2. Just stay with 6.5 Creedmoor since its more commonly used for PRS etc...
Please let me know your thoughts... advice etc..
