[QUOTE="Sending156s, post: 2284519, member: 109060"] Almost all rifles can get it done with the proper bullet placement and it’s definitely none of my concern what someone else builds. Just say you are going to sacrifice a LOT of velocity for convenience of easy handling. Don’t act like there’s something free in this world. You don’t gain in one area without sacrificing in some other area. when I was starting the build on my 300 WM the gunsmith asked me what length barrel I was going to use. After I told him 26” he said, “ Sounds good, I’m tired of building 300 WMs with an 18” bbl burning ~ 78 grains of powder to get almost the same you can get from a .308 with an 18” bbl. Some cartridges get a more complete & efficient burn with a shorter bbl than others. The 65 PRC is not one of those cartridges. I don’t believe the #’s I hear on the internet for the velocity with 18” 65 PRC barrels. With my 65 PRCs I lose almost 50 fps per inch with Bartlein bbls. With my 65 CMs I lose 20-25 fps per inch.
