[QUOTE="vortech347, post: 1873634, member: 73645"] PRC fits in a short action. It's like the WSM's in that some of the really long and sleek bullets have to jump a little too much to be good options. For example, my Browning 6.5 PRC has the ability to seat to 2.980 and just barely fit in the magazine. That gets me to within .0285 of the lands with a 147 eldm and even closer in the 140. But, the Berger 144 lrht is still jumping close to .1 at mag length so some bullets will be iffy to use except for single loading. I found a really wide 2930ish velocity node over .8 grains to test so will be doing a .0385 and .0285 jump seating test this weekend. I loaded up 4 143 eldx bullets at a upper mid book load and at 2.95 which was .07 jump and they shot really well at 100yds. So I plan to do a velocity ladder and find a good hunting load with it. That lets me back off on my Creedmoor to save brass and barrel life with it. Best of both worlds IMO. [/QUOTE]
