My first 6.5-06 was on a Savage action and the second a Rem M700 action, no problems with mag length with vld type bullets. My current on a pre-64 M70 is a little more challenged with the 3.4" mag box.
RL-26 and 140gr I get 2950 fps with out excessive pressure.

Seems a 6.5 prc needs a long action also.


The PRC has no issues breaking 3000 with a 143 or even a 147, it does not need a long action.



Factory ammo spec is 2.955". That takes a very SPECIAL short action. Feeds best from WSM boxes too.


What’s so “special” about a 700 SA with a notched feed ramp, feeding from binderless Accurate mags?
