Tease! I could have sworn that the title was saying that you found a potential bolt that would enable you to neck down a 6.5 PRC to 6mm and fit it in an AR.
I know nothing about bolt guns other than that I only have 2 of them and that my Bushnell rebate gift card will be showing up soon. It could cover the cost of a drop in Proof steel Baby S'more barrel for my RPR and leave enough left over for a decent bottle of Cotes during Rhone. We'll see how I feel when the card arrives.
I don't know why you'd want to spend more money and restrict yourself to the grendel confines in a bolt gun. My 6mm Grrrrrrrr has a really tight throat and I still can't get near the lands with the 110 SMKs. You could probably buy your action in the form of a Baby S'more rifle and shoot the stock barrel out while you wait for someone to make a Bartlein. It's all the rage for a reason. With the 6.5 CM, everyone jumped on the wagon because people who had never previously shot over 200 yards thought they were going to pull it out of the box and start ringing steel at 1k. I think the 6 CM crowd is a bit more experienced. Just make sure you do a 1:7 twist so you can do the 110 smks, acknowledging that that will limit you with varmint bullets.

Let's go Brandon!
