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

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.Quote:

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)
