That would be ideal. But stuck with my SA length at this time. I think 6.5 prc is my best option currently.
It's going to be restricting you also, with the heavies for sure.
Friend of mine is a builder and said he won't use 6.5 PRC on a SA ever again.
Medium/XM only.

My 6.5PRC, 6.5PRC/SI, and 25PRC/SI are all on SAs. But, COAL is restricting anything other than 130s to jump to lands. Anywhere from .002" for 147 ELD-M, .020" for 142 NABLR, .066" for 140 Elite, .074" for the 156 Elite, to .083" for the 150 SMKs.
If you don't mind some jump, no big deal. Mine all shoot great.

With that you could run AICS. Mags @ 2.950"
What bullet do you want to run? Here is some lengths touching lands with a factory 300WSM in a Tikka.
180 and up. Looks like the Berger 190gr VLD 1.371 OAL
Or run the 195gr tmk

300 SS is the way to go for the SA.
If you're thinking WSM, just build the Mega and get some added performance. ADG head stamped brass too.

I'm stuck on the SS for heavies.
