[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1819060, member: 67552"] The whole advantage to the PRC is being on a short action. If you are going to add the length, weight, and stroke of the long action to make the most of the case, then make the most of a long action and do the 26 Nosler. Where is your line on performance and is the goal to shoot the 156. If the goal is 1000 yard elk gun maybe the 6.5PRC is not the best choice in any action. If the target is 500 or 600 yards then the 6.5PRC on the short action is perfect. If you choose to thump your elk with something bigger like a 300 grain .338 at distance and use the 6.5 on sheep and goats and such then the 130/140s and a short action PRC is perfect. It seems to me that a lot of people keep trying to land planes on destroyers when aircraft carriers are there for that purpose. Light, quick handling, rigid platform, high performance hunting rifle is the 6.5PRC on a short action. Just one outdated old mans opinion. [/QUOTE]
