Best bet is to do a search for “6.5 PRC cartridge length” and a second one for “6.5 PRC rim diameter.
The first should confirm that your receiver (Model 12, like mine?) is long enough.
The second will tell you if a bolt head swap is needed.
I have a 243 weather warrior, I want to change calibers on. Can it be made into a 6.5 PRC?
I plan on a new barrel, but wasn't sure if a short action would work.

The 6.5 PRC should be on a large shank action, it's pressures run higher than WSM's.

Thanks for the input. Trying to figure out what to do with the 243.
My first rifle was a 243, Poppa gave to daddy and daddy gave to me.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
