6.5 PRC brass for reloading

[shedhunt]

Good morning,

I'm looking for some help regarding brass for reloading a 6.5 PRC I picked up earlier this year.

The rifle is a Tikka T3x and is all stock. I have read about how the spects on the actions are a little tight and should be opened to eliminate stiff bolt and clicking, which is on the docket to be done.

I'm just looking for a little help on brass that others have experience reloading with for this round. I've been looking at Lapua, ADG and Peterson and have zero experience with these brands.

Any recommendations would be most welcomed and my apologies if this is a repeat post, but I was unable to find something in the search.

Lapua, then Peterson.

What are the downsides of using factory hornady brass? Consistency, lifespan?

Yes.

If you're going to take the time and effort to reload (and I am assuming to achieve better-than-factory results) then go with quality brass. If you're just doing to save money then shoot factory ammo. You'll get more firings out of quality brass which will drive down your cost basis.
