I am almost done with my build sheet for a 6.5 PRC I am about to have built. The only item I need to decide on is to build is on a short action or a long action. I was hoping to hear from some guys that own one and see what they built it on.
I was hoping to build it off a short action but my gunsmith is suggesting to have it built on a long action? Does anyone have any experience with building these on long actions? So far out of the people I have talked too it's pretty much 50/50.
I was originally set on a short action but after reading/hearing about the cycling and feeding issues on a short action, I was interested in hearing more about them being built on a long action.
I don't reload myself but I have a guy who loads ammo for me and I will more than likely be shooting the 140 or 156 grain Berger's. I guess it's like custom factory ammo.
What do y'all think? Any experience from guys who own a 6.5 PRC?
