What is the cartridge overall length that will fit in the DTA SRS 7 WSM magazine?
I am investigating my options for a magazine to fit the 6.5 PRC. I know SAC makes a good one with a 1 round extension out of SRS 308 mags. I have my own shop and can duplicate what they have done if necessary. However, I just learned that DTA has produced 7 WSM mags that work with short magnums so I am interested in this as an option. I thought I had it figured out, I modified one of my 338 Lapua mags and made a bolt stop to fit the 6.5 PRC, but found the round leaves the feed lips too early to insert the bullet tip in the chamber. It does work if I hold the front of the mag up, taking up the clearance when cycling the bolt. So I'm thinking the 7 WSM mags will probably work. My 6.5 PRC is seated to an OAL of 3.080" so I need to know if that will fit.
