6.5 PRC in a short action

[tilman2141]

Ok, this will be short and sweet. Is the 6.5 PRC with heavy long bullets able to function easily in a short action. I’ve had a couple of guns smith say yes but it’s getting tight in a short magazine. Who could give me hands on experience or do I really need to go to like a defiance XM length action. Thanks

with a 140/147 they fit fine. but if you're gonna get into the 153.5 or 156 you may run into issues

get a zermatt origin medium and some hawkins bottom metal. easy button

When you use the hawkings bottom metal is the BDL style or detachable magainze--and what mags would you use for the longer PRC rounds. (apologize to OP but I'm also interested in this question)>
