Has anyone here had any experience with or know of a long action magazine designed for the 6.5 PRC? I have seen one advertised for the 6.5 CM. If not, has anyone used the long action for 6.5 PRC and how does it feed? My 6.5 CM feeds OK in the long action. Occasionally I get one round that gets stuck.

Long Action Mag for 6.5 PRC

I use 300WM magazines in my long action. I’ve only used it in a Manners with M5 style bottom metal, but had no issues feeding 6.5PRC in my LP Razor Ti.
I thought it would be fine, similar to the 6.5 CM in my LA. I'll just get a magnum magazine. Thanks for the reply.
what he said^^^^^^^^^^. now try and decide if you're ever going to use that stock for any other cartridge longer than the 6.5prc or any other short mags? some medium actions go to 3.240 and long action dbm's from 3.515-3.850. get bottom metal to match. i wouldn't use anything longer than 3.715 (that's external measurement as cartridge is usually .100 shorter).
Well it's a long action so I probably will use LA cartridges at some point. So far I have only used it (Big Horn TL3) for the 6.5 CM and 6.5 PRC. I like to play around with things so maybe a 26 Nosler, 7mm PRC and who knows what else. I figured it would work well enough with a magnum magazine since my CM works fine in the standard LA mag. I was hoping by chance that there might be a mag designed specifically for that. One can hope.
I currently have two Long action rifles and three short action rifles. In six months from now, I may have more or less of those. Also various barrels. Thanks for your reply.
Fir the body type it's in the rm, wm and nosler family, so nake sure you get a mag for that. Might require feedlip adjustments? Getting the wsm, saum and rum family will be different mags. The medium mags seem to work for a larger group of short mags.
