[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1779108, member: 110896"] The thing about the WSM cartridges is that they have a very large base-datum diameter. Your job may require a new barrel, or your present barrel cut forward until the diameter of the chamber can hug the 6.5PRC case nice and close. I can say this because I designed my own wildcat cartridge after learning that the .555" base-datum diameter is too big for a case with a .532" head. I had to have a new barrel made and installed to continue to use a stock that cost me $2300 in handwork to make it usable. [/QUOTE]
