[QUOTE="Mc Fraser, post: 1813273, member: 106529"] Hello LRH members, I want to build a 6.5 PRC based on a Tikka action and reload for it. I am using the Hornady reloading book for reference. After I used google quite a bit and a phone call to Hornady I have a few questions: 1. According to Hornady, a suitable donor action will be a WSM (270, 300, 7mm); however, Hornady lists 6.5 PRC max COL at 2.955in; all WSM cartridges are 2.860in. With Tikka magazines beeing notorious for exact SAAMI specs, I don't see how a Tikka short action will work. Am I missing something? 2. In my research, I found that between all the cartridges that Tikka rifles are chambered to, 7mm RM is best suited because max COL is 3.290in, What do you guys think? I've found a few people on other forums that have built 6.5 PRC on magnum LA, and an equal # of people that say its a mistake to build a SA cartridge on an LA action. Please educate me? [/QUOTE]
