[QUOTE="dysphonic, post: 1948182, member: 34631"] Hi there I am hoping that those of you with a ruger long range target in 6.5 PRC might be able to help me out. I just picked up mine on the weekend and was surprised to find that when measuring the length to the lands with my Hornady oal gauge - that 0.020 off the lands puts my COL at 2.760 (with 143g eld-x) and 2.796 (with 142g Sierra March kings). That puts it very close to the SAMI minimum of 2.755 and a long way from the Max of 2.955. In itself that may not be problematic but the bullet ends up being loaded very deep into the case. Have others found the the ruger has a short chamber or is there something that I am missing? I have loaded up a variety of test rounds with RL26 and there is no noticeable evidence of the powder bring compressed so far. [/QUOTE]
