6.5 prc clicker

[jtr1997]

I have a new seekins ph3 6.5 prc. Shot the first 100 through it without issues. Now I annealed sized and trimmed all my brass to finalize load development and I already have the prc clicker issue after one firing on the brass. My 300 prc lapua brass I get 4 firings before its an issue. This is adg. Anybody else have the problem after one firing? Die is a Redding type s match.

You need to measure your brass in all dimensions to understand where the issue is at. Likely typical PRC location near the base but no way to tell without measurements.

Also should inform how well your die matches your chamber.

Redding dies have loose base sizing dimension in my experience.

If it’s the typical PRC area, you can use the AW2 reamer but still need to understand the measurements on your fired and then sized brass to know if it will fix the issue.
Eric Cortina also makes a base sizing die, you can use or remove the neck mandrel.

Yep. With same brass and same die as you. AW reamer is your fix.

Both my 6.5PRCs have chambers reamed with wide base reamers. I have never had the clicker issue with either rifle with no sizing other than a Forster or Area 419 FL die. My 7PRC and 300PRC have SAAMI spec chambers. I have used the Cortina sizing mandrel for both every time I size my brass. First a Forster or Area 419 FL die pass, then the a pass in the Cortina die. I use Peterson (7PRC) and Lapua (300PRC) brass. I have 7 resizes on my 7PRC brass and 3 on my 300PRC with no clicker issues.
