I have small primer brass and small rifle primers out the wazoo and all the dies for reloading the 6.5CM. I also own a 7mm-mag and a couple .280AI's . I like shooting steel with the CM. I might like a lighter 6.5CM for hiking around the coulees.

I don't really need or want a 6.5 PRC.
Why not. It will cover pretty much everything at all ranges. To me it's the perfect round. Thoughts?

Why not a 6.5 PRC?
Brass. .30-06 is the parent case for .280. You can neck down the parent, then fireform for .280AI.
Performance- generally the .284 offers a lot of higher bc bullets, and I’ve read some comparisons on Rokslide and the .280AI with a 160gr ABLR carries more energy down range than a 6.5 PRC with ELDX bullets. Personally I’m not hung up on this- both will do the job.
