Long action 6.5prc?

[Mdfowlman2]

So.. long story short. I got the bug to build a gun for some upcoming rifle hunts, I initially wanted a 7mm bullet and the pic peaked my interest. I ended up ordering a Lone Peak long action since they had them I stock. I have since read some questionable things on the 7prc and have considered just building a 6.5prc and running the 156 Bergers. I know Lone Peak makes a medium action which would be perfect for this but I want the option to spin up another barrel and true long action round.

Any issues running the 6.5 prc 156g in the long action? I plan to run the Hawkins hunter mag setup.

Just buy the spacer kit for the mags and you will be good.

I’ve done a couple long action 6.5 prcs with no issues. If you reload you could have the smith throat your gun long and you’ll take up some more mag spaxe loading the bullets longer.
