[QUOTE="Sending156s, post: 1600547, member: 109060"] I’m have a 6.5 PRC build in the process right now. It was delayed because I canceled the original build on a S/A, bought a Stiller Predator medium action, and sent it to the smith. I believe it can reach it’s potential in the medium action. I back calculated ~ 88 thou of bullet bearing area is buried in the case below shoulder/neck on Hornady’s factory ammo. I don’t shoot any factory ammo and believe i’m going to get superior results with my loads. Even handicapped in a S/A it shoots lights out @ ~ 3150 FPS. All that being said I would have went with a Sherman cartridge if I had known about it. My next build will be on a Sherman. I hardly ever watch TV & just started reading the shooting forums on the Internet. I would never have found out about the Sherman cartridges without the forums. I thank Rich for the feedback he gave me on them. I believe he will be there to offer advice & support should you go with a Sherman. Even though I wouldn’t have mine built on a S/A doesn’t mean it doesn’t work well for some. People who are only interested in performance & accuracy & also don’t want to reload it is a viable option. I always look for maximum efficiency from a cartridge. I recognize not all do and they can be very happy with the results they are getting on S/As. The S/As that are working best are having a moon shape cut out of the front of the action feed port & the feed lip on the mags slightly modified. [/QUOTE]
