[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1776279, member: 61747"] A 6.5 PRC can and does run fine in a short action at mag length with the heavier bullets. If you build a custom barrel with your own reamer spec then just lessen the freebore to reduce jump if it matters. You'll gain a little case capacity if you go medium or long action. I have still not done a seating depth test on my rifle, I just run them short enough for the mag and they all shot .5 moa or less at 400 for load development. My settled upon loads shot .5 or less at 550. Right now my go to bullet is 135A tip. It jumps about .080 and runs just under 3100. Should be bad medicine for wolves this winter. I'll run the 156 for deer, bear, elk if I hunt them with a rifle. I usually bow hunt big game, rifle is wolves. [ATTACH=full]162355[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
