Thread: 6.5prc

The bits ready for the gunsmith (Greg at Custom Guns) to build my faux 6.5 PRC - its a 6.5x284.

Savage stainless short action from @MMC Barltelin featherweight 1:7.5 twist barrel to finish at a tad over 24" and threaded 14x1- supplied by @camowsm . Accu-Stock was already in hand.

I went 6.5-284 because it's a .473 boltface and I don't really want to go to magnum boltface actions - is for all intents and purposes the same case capacity (and therefore ballistics) as the 6.5 PRC.

Are you going to run shorter lower weight bullets or can gunsmith trick it up somehow like a tikka? Used to have a Savage 6.5 x 284, think it was based on a long action?
