[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1740795, member: 13732"] As long he opens up the action a bit and runs aics wsm mags with 2.95" internal length he'll be okay. The problem is, saami chambers have long freebore which works well with Hornady eld bullets that have long bearing surface that typically like to be 50 thou off the lands. Once you start using say a Berger vld that likes to be close, you're seating the bullet out long. The 6.5 prc will work fine, but I'd def consider a shorter freebore of 130. You could take factory ammo and run it through a seating die and bump the bullet in 40 thou or so and shoot. [/QUOTE]
