[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1974663, member: 13732"] I have burnt 1 6.5 prc barrel, currently have 3 other 6.5 prc rifles. My experience with them is hardly mis information. You state the new trend to run big jumps. What you don't mention is that the prs guys that are leading this trend (Mark Gordon & Scott Satterlee stated it, prs crowd is chasing it) they're also running 250-300k freebore so that their 120-130k jump load isn't crowding power or in the donut zone. Set up a prc case like these guys are running their big jumps and run your short action aics mags. You can run your long bearing surface bullets as far into the case as you like, but it isn't ideal, which you're promoting thr short action to be for the prc. I've got a dozen pretty high end custom rifles I all hand load for. Most them chambered with reamers to get heavy bullets out of donut zone. Go ask a custom rifle builder what's the optimal setup for a saami prc reamer. Look at the 6.5 addiction, it's a zero freebore chamber to run an improved sweed in an aics short action. Bullet is beyond stuffed. Does it work? Yes, is it optimal? No. Why would southfork build their 6.5 prc on an xm action and the creeds on a short? Because it's optimal. Why did Christensen put a 3.05" magazine in their short actions? What about ruger, saeur, fierce all using a long action? I'm glad you made it work, but saying these rifles come out setup to run close to lands being ideal is misinformation or fear spreading is just your opinion.
