Looking for those who have handled them, but who makes the smoothest feeding 6.5 PRC? I have only owned a Cascade 6.5PRC briefly and it was a nice "hunting" rifle. I got about 1.25 to 1.5" groups with both factory and handloads, but it fed kinda ragged. That short, fat, sharp shouldered case is an engineers challenge for sure, at least to me, ha. An in-line feed magazine aka Sako 695 would be sweet. Since I am not a LR Hunter, I never handled any high dollar models, they may be the berries, but I'd like to know. Anyone? FWIW I had a 6.5/284 made up on a Mod 700 Short Action (just for the 120-129gr bullets) and it was a bolt of lightning on game with the 120 NBT. But it was a nightmare to feed right. Sometimes 2-3 rounds would pop out of the magazine, ha! I traded it off.
