    I have a short action in a bighorn TL3, 6.5 PRC and it works wonderful. So far i have only run 143, 145 and 147 grain bullets in mine, but the OAL is just fine for those. I use the no binderplate AICS mags. I am at 3050 FPS with both the 145 and 147 grain bullets. I don't really feel the need to go with a longer/heavier bullet as i feel i would lose enough speed that it may not be worth the tradeoff. overall i just love shooting the 6.5 PRC and it cuts the wind just beautiful!

    I talked my brother into getting a 6.5 PRC in a Savage Ultralite. It is a dandy rifle!
