MPA PMR 6.5 PRC

[benchmstr]

Has anyone reviewed this rifle in 6.5 PRC?

I have shot one in 6.5 creedmoor..but with all the hard lessons learned I’ve been seeing about the newer heavier 6.5 prc rounds not really fitting in short actions or short action mags I am a bit iffy.

6.5 prc is made for the short action and people use either WSM Accurate mags or open feed lips on standard 308 aics mags (no binder plate)

now if you wanna put a 153/157 in it you may or may not have issues with COAL depending how you want them to sit in the neck

I might still get it and just limit myself to the 140's...seems to be the only way to keep this a true short action.

147 eldm
143 eldx work just fine

might get better answers in the 6.5 PRC reloading depot thread. someone in there might have tried the 153 atip and 156EOL
