[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1501596, member: 10291"] I was considering using one of my Remington 700 SA to build a rifle. My understanding is that there have been reamer modifications since the introduction of the 6.5 PRC, the latest using a longer throat to accommodate the longer high BC bullets and increasing powder capacity. Much like the 6.5x284, you can use a short action, but performance can be maximized with a long action, or one of the medium length actions that are available. The longer high BC 140’s or the 2.95” COAL of the factory Hornady 143/147 ELD’s is 2.95”. Unless I’m missing something(which is certainly possible), this seems like it would be a tight squeeze in a SA. [/QUOTE]
