[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2590176, member: 66917"] And that's why when I built my 6.5 PRC 4 years ago I used an XM length action (3.2in OAL) and had the leade cut long to keep the tail of the long 6.5mm bullets out of the powder column. I've been shooting the 156 at 3.1 OAL (15 thou off) since it came out. 2.95 OAL is a handicap true short action builds suffer somewhat from when it comes to the 156. Even with my setup 60gr of H1000 under a 156 EOL at 3.1in would be way way over pressure. I think I pressured out at 58.6gr if memory serves. But I run it hot at 58.2gr. That recipe has whacked 22 big game animals mostly with 1 shot. [/QUOTE]
