I guess I'll find out when I complete my 6.5prc AR10 build (limited to 2.830"ish).

I weighed in on brass and ammo availability before deciding on a cartridge. I don't mind it being a limiting factor of up to 135grs. I would still be limited on bullet weights either for 30cal, 28 and 27cals. Case length was more important. Going saum, wsm or rm in 26cal there was little difference. I just didn't care for a belt for an auto fed mag loader is why I strayed away from the rm. Just my preference as others have used belted cases in AR systems.

I'll keep you informed. I'll make some dummy rounds and send in the bolt for them to chamber and headspace as necessary.
