That's how you build a PRC! That medium action is awesome! I believe that's a sunny hill bottom metal? Is it stagger feed?

It is a staggard feed. It's so smooth most of the time I have to double check to make sure a round went in.

Is the 6.5SS brass available to purchase? I'd like to have one but don't want to have to fire form and turn necks and all that Jazz.

6.5SS headstamped brass is available through Rich. It does have to be neck sized and fire formed however. Necks are already turned and running it through a 6.5SS die is a one pass deal. No further neck turning needed.

I haven't put it on the scale but it is light but not too light.
