[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2906789, member: 122715"] I didn't explain myself very well. For me, the main draw of the 6.5 PRC would be the option of being able to shoot factory ammo. But Hornady loads their 6.5 PRC at 2.950" oal iirc. Not a great fit in most short action magazines. Absent 6.5 PRC factory ammo that would fit well in my short actions, I just chamber for 6.5 SAUM. It has a little more case capacity. My reamer has 0.120" freebore, vs. 0.188" for SAAMI 6.5 PRC reamers, so I have no problem loading close to the lands and staying within magazine length. If I had medium actions, I would give up the SAUM's extra few grains of powder capacity, and go with the PRC, so that I had the option of shooting factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
