Anyone have a complete Wyatt's long box laying around? I'm building a 6.5prc on a long action defiance. I think the long box is my only option, correct?

Their 6.5 prc box is too short 2.99", but thank you.
I already have a hinged bottom metal, sorry but no desire for dbm.

I'll talk to my smith, how much?
I've had issues with the 6.5 prc feeding using the box Wyatts makes for a 300 prc. I learned from a smith that had the same issues that the way to get them to reliably feed was up get a box with no window cut in it and then cut the window in the correct location. The 6.5 prc is about 9/16 shorter than the 300 prc. I traced the window of the 300 prc box on the box with no window with it move back the 9/16. I cut it out in my mill and after getting it all cleaned up it feeds all rounds reliably. You might give Wyatts a call as I've talked to him about this and he might have made some boxes by now for the guys building 6.5 prc's on long actions.
