6.5 PRC factory loads are with LR primers, and most handload data you find will be using standard large rifle primers as well. I think you'll be okay.
I just looked at Nosler and Hornady's data and they used WLR and F210 respectively.
Still gets me giddy that I even own it 😁
Thanks! And no, it’s a 700. I replaced the shroud with a Lawton style one from PT&G

On one hand I always like to see Czechia doing well internationally (as a Bohemian myself) and on the other I know it’ll probably slow down stuff yet again
