I've posted this on several forums with very little feedback. Maybe here is better. I've only owned one 6.5 PRC and I sold it without ever firing it. My neighbor is not an online guy and wants me to sell his Bergara Ridge West River 6.5 PRC for him. So, before I do that, I'm going to shoot it so I can represent it properly. However, last night, to check it out, I was running some live rounds through it to check feeding etc. These were factory Hornady ELD-M rounds. They would go into the mag flawlessly and would feed flawlessly. They would extract perfectly; but, they would not eject, at all. Empty pieces of brass both extracted and ejected perfectly. It is clearly an action opening size issue as the loaded rounds are simply too long to eject. To me, this isn't a problem because my non-floorplate rifles need to be unloaded round by round anyway. This is BDL so one can just drop the floorplate.
So, back to the question. Is this common for PRC rifles on a short action?
