[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1818809, member: 61747"] If you choose a short action and the mag limits you to 2.8 then I'd go medium/long, or wyatts. If you run a external AICS mag without a binder plate you will be at 2.950 COAL. That is what my rifle set up uses. Here is the deal tho. I have not personally seen any velocity numbers from a single source that compared a long action COAL to a short COAl of 2.8 to see the loss or gain of potential in terms of velocity and accuracy. I don't personally know the real world difference. In comparing my rifles velocity to book or other shooters on long actions it seems there is not enough difference to be concerned about. The 6.5 PRC is kind of an odd duck. SAAMI chamber has long throat, the case is a little long, it seems to shoot most everything well, but it's not really a true SA round. [/QUOTE]
