[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2863391, member: 66917"] If you have a short action, you will have to single load because your OAL will never safely fit in a 2.995 mag. If you have a medium action, again you could single load rounds. Depending on your medium length mag you might be able to safely seat bullets that will snap in your mag but you're going to sacrifice a lot of powder space in the case. I investigated turning my Defiance Medium based rifle into a 7mm PRC. The 3.1999in magazine (Defiance says 3.2in but something that long hangs, tried it) will just not fit the 7 PRC minimum OAL without sacrificing way too much powder space. Going through this in the past with a 7mm STW I just don't want to go through it again. It doesn't gain anything over my current setup. There is a 7mm based on the current 6.5 case, don't recall what people were calling it. I think Eric Cortina is using one in competition. There is also a Sherman Improved 6.5 PRC/SI. [/QUOTE]
