PRC brass is harder to find than getting drawn in AZ. 3 years in a row as non-resident! But, being part of several reloading BST groups on FB, PRC brass is always in short supply, then dies to match your chamber is another constant issue.
My vote would be for the 260AI. My reason, like listed before would be brass and trimming. I have 1000s of once fired Lake City 308 brass that I reform to all different calibers. When building a rifle, I try to chamber to a caliber that has a 308 parent case for this reason. Its a bit more work, but if you enjoy handloading, it seems to be more fun than work.
Again the prc is basically a 6.5x284, just a little shorter and with a magnum bolt face. Prc brass is non existent while the out of fashion 6.5x284 brass is available everywhere.
Sometimes the latest isn't the greatest in this case. Seems with the shortages we are all facing, maybe sticking with what's available Trump's the hype of latest and greatest. Seems like this may be the case in the 300PRC vs 300WM. Brass availability is better with the old 300WM.
Yep I went with a 30 nosler over the 300 prc and Peterson brass was super easy to score
