^^^proven shooter feels like a toy in hand it’s so light

Yea a 20” 7mm or 300wsm maybe the go - have been looking into 18” 6.5PRC
They seem quite interesting and capable

Mate brought my 20" he is getting 2760fps from the 147eldm, dam dose that gun shoot

Tikka strata 300wsm cut to 20 inches,dpt,vx5..178eldx pushed by RL17 2860fps

I run a 18” 6.5SST- similar to a 6.5PRC but slightly shorter to suit a short action better. The key is to hand load for short barrels.

147gr ELDM @ 2800fps

It’s a Southfort labs one.

300 saum, 20" Hardy, 168NBT 3100fps (R17). Stug stock. Tiny groups. Light. The best big gun Ive had. Son @craigc has got it now - early inheritance.

Nah. You lose too much performance with the chop unless you want to spike the pressure beyond reasonable. I did a 20" and was disappointed.

Am following this thread eagerly.

Thinking about doing a 300wsm superbush pig with a 18" barrel, dpt can with break baffle. Realistic velocity for 195gr TMK? Just as something for a compact tops gun.

I don’t reload so factory options only - not super keen on buying rifles and swapping barrels either. I think I’ve settled on a 6.5prc cut down to 18/19/20” somewhere there. So cleaning out safe to make room.

I was thinking about similar and moving on my 7mm rem,

However done some digging and found that the 6.5prc isn't a race horse with the factory hornady ammo.

This was followed up by ironically a week ago I was watching an Instagram story (disappeared now so I can't see the exact figures). Was a 20inch cut tikka, new. Precision match hornady over a chrono. It was horrendously slow, i think it was 2400fps or something for a 147eldm (don't quote me).

Something to do your research on and I would hate for you to be disappointed if it wasn't what you were expecting (this guy was from his comments and surprised manner)
