I'm looking to build a multipurpose bolt rifle for PRS, long-range shooting and hunting. The majority of the rifle's use will be at the range (90% of the time) and equal parts PRS/Hunting (10% of the time) which are "seasonal". The total scoped rifle weight is roughly 16.5lbs. I am debating on chambering the rifle in 6GT or 6.5PRC. For whatever reason, I am not interested in a 6.5 Creedmoor... don't ask why cause I don't know lol.
Hunting will be mostly wild boar & whitetail with mule deer and antelope in the plans.
6GT: 109gr Bergers @~3,000fps (PRS/Range/Long Range Hunting) & 90gr GMX @~3,300fps (Hunting <300 yards); estimated
6.5PRC: 156 Bergers @~3,000fps (PRS/Range/Long Range Hunting) & 120gr GMX @~3,300fps (Hunting <400 yards); estimated
I have never competed in PRS but I would like to try it out throughout the year.
Thanks for all of the information and opinions! I've decided on running a 6.5CM, lol.
