[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1776894, member: 52437"] I have a 6.5prc in a short action. The magazine is pretty tight with factory loaded 143 eldx bullets. I am not concerned about being able to jam into the barrel. I wanted as compact as a rifle as I could get because I only hunt to 400 yards and I do not need ultra accuracy with specific bullets. Anything sub 1 MOA is fine. If I was doing a true long range build id be getting a medium to long action. As for caliber. I personally think the 6.5prc will be more popular than the 300prc which means factory support will be better and selling the rifle down the road will be easier if I wanted to sell it. As for game, the 6.5prc will take down anything in North America BUT I personally would go larger if larger game was my main target. If you hunt whitetails an smaller with the occasional Elk...then 6.5prc is great. If you will be hunting Elk regularly with a possible moose or brown bear in the works, id be going 300prc. [/QUOTE]
