I've built two of them, no doubt more recoil, but not excessive. Depends on the gun weight & load.

Are you familiar or know anything about a 6-284? The 6-6.5PRC has the same case capacity and is essentially a ballistic twin to the 6-284. With 6.5-284 brass becoming harder and harder to find and 6.5 PRC brass much easier to get wildcats like the 6 and 25 PRC have become increasingly more popular. The only real drawback is the 6 PRC requires a magnum bolt face but even that really isn't much of a downside.
 
I was a 6-284 fan too, which led me to the 6 PRC. With proper throating the PRC will easily fit a short action with a Wyatts box in a 700, whereas the 284 case really needs to be in a long action when throated for the heavies.

Regardless, I decided to get away from the hot rods and stick to my 6x47 Lapuas, they just need a few more clicks on the dial.
 
Wyatt's 3.00 mag box will give you plenty of room for all except the 110-115's and with those, if you have them throated to really stretch them out, you can use Wyatt's 3.100 Baney box, but, brass availability still favors the 6-6.5 PRC over anything off of the 284 case.

Barrel was a Bartein #3 spiral fluted. Surprisingly, it preferred the 108 Hornady over the 105 Bergers, at 3400.

Impressive, did you ever try something in the 80gr range. Found this all from a podcasts and velocities where very impressive. how has brass life been ?

I never tried anything other than the 105 Berger & 108 Hornady.

Hornady brass was some good stuff, but I sold the gun, so no long term test on brass life.
