I'm wanting my 6.5 as light as possible yep. I'm not shooting often, I'd be lucky to take 1 shot on a trip. I was hoping to run a non magnum but thought there may be some issues with that? What issues could arise if I ran a non magnum version? @jackson21

Maybe give them a call? But my thoughts are whilst it's called a magnum if you can run cartridges with simular powder weight I wouldn't think it's an issue as surely it's same pressures etc?

I was bit nervous running my 22.250 through my 556 one but seems fine, probably put 600 rounds of 22.250 through it, probably 2500 rounds of 5.56 before that.

Will do. I've tried calling a couple of times but haven't got through. Makes sense though, cheers for feedback

I would, but I don't want to be giving you advice above my pay grade. I was going to run it on my 6.5 x 284 which is simular to a prc but decided to just leave as was with longer barrel un-suppressed.

Yep no worries. Will definitely have a chat for clarification before I bite the bullet

I think when they mean Magnum it's like 7mm, 300 WinMag with large case capacity, and then they do a 338 Lap as well.
