I will be single feeding it until I do the mag trick that aalf did on his. Short action should take care of that issue for him this time I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

The 1st go around, the 6 PRC was a switch barrel with the 6.5 barrel on a long action. This time it's 6 PRC all the way, so short it is. Reamer spec is a .109" freebore, so about a 2.850" OAL in the lands 15-20 thou. I thought I could get by deep seating to 2.80", and run out of a factory box, but decided I didn't want to sink them that deep, and bought the Wyatts 6.5 PRC kit. I may start with the 110 SMK again, as I still have a bunch. I struggled mightily with runout on my brass for the 1st barrel, so the learning curve, hopefully, will be considerably shorter this time.

Been too busy with other things, haven't even put it together yet. Scope base came today, scope coming tomorrow, and I still have to make 100 pieces of brass too. 15 below today, so I should be able to make some inroads.

Weighs in at 7 pounds, 5 ounces as you see it. Pretty decent considering the stock is 35.5 ozs. Even got creative with the Krylon in the flutes. Scope was supposed to be in today, but this AM it was all of a sudden & mysteriously "running late". Won't see the damn thing till Tuesday now.

Pretty low tech, a little masking tape at each end for the over spray, paint the barrel, let it dry overnight, and then sanded away the paint with 1/2" x 4" strips of sand paper. Gave it a couple coats of matte clear to protect it somewhat. I took several pics trying get the flutes to show up better, but gave up and settled for the one posted. I need to wait for natural light to get the best shots. Snowing to beat the band today.
