You'll want a long action. It can be made to fit a short action but needs a lot of gunsmithing to feed and to eject a loaded cartridge reliably, and using heavier bullets seated to their optimum depth will cause many a problem even so.
I would like to know if the noted above cartridge fit's into a Remington short or long action.....my next build. Thanks!

I hope to rebarrel my kimber montana 8400 wsm to 6.5 prc at some point.
Thats what mine is built off.
I was hoping a person could build on the long action with this cartridge. A 700 magnum action with a bolt face of .532" should suffice? I want to start off with the 130 gr. Accubond and then the 125 gr. Partition, probably go with a 1:9 twist, 26" barrel.
I’d find a nicely stocked Sako, Tikka, M70, Kimber, Browning in an “undesirable” WSM chambering and stick an 8T stainless barrel on it. I did a few SA Remington 700’s on a 6.5 RM but used a Wyatt mag box.
A 270 wsm would likely out run a 6.5 PRC/RM at sane hunting distances but that’s all I’ll say about that.
