I have one, found hand loads will work. But need them loaded long. Needed new magazines and a long action bolt stop.
I agree changing the barrel would work. With the tika it’s a long action, with the
short action bolt stop. You can change to any caliber in the 30 cal bolt face.
I saw this post, figured I should order some. I’m building one and waiting on barrel and stock.
Found Mason Reamers had them. $45 each. With shipping $104.
Have them in less than a week.
I’m building a 7PRC. I put a Trijicon tennile 3-18 SFP on my 6.5 prc, loved it so much I bought another. For $850 on sale you can’t beat it.

It shoots.
Shot # 3-6 left, 7-9 right
Waypoint 6.5PRC with Factory Hornady 143gr ELDX. Nikon 3-9 (saving for much better scope). Harris bipod off bench, as you can see. Caldwell chronograph.
I did have a bolt not go All the way forward when practicing with it. It discombobulated me. Turns out...
I have my 6.5 PRC Waypoint carbon fiber. Ordered it and a month later have it. The gun store also gave me 2 boxes of 162 ELDX to go with it. I have everything to reload except magnum powder. Now I just need to order a scope so I can shoot it. I will update when I do.
I just ordered a 6.5 PRC last week…. After looking for over a year. I passed on a few 6.5 or 308.
I never shot one, so keep me updated.
I did call Springfield, they said they finally received parts to start making them. They stated it was what was holding them from production.
…… we will...
