[QUOTE="Jack300WSM, post: 2942868, member: 107882"] “Short action” is relative to what you’re shooting in them. I’ve had three 300wsm’s. My CA in 300wsm is shooting 185 Berger VLD-H .007” off the lands and capable of feeding reliably out of the standard setup. My Remington 700 I converted from 308 to 300wsm I could never get to shoot the Bergers other than single due to mag length hindering the performance I was after. I’ve had the same issue with the 6.5PRC on a SA with 140 VLD-H’s. I’m currently working on a 6.5PRC load for 140 Sierra TGK to mag length….fingers crossed. I don’t mind a single shot honesty but may be something you can’t live with. Where I hunt it’s usually one well placed shot and down. Usually if a second shot is called for they’ve disappeared into brush again anyway. I don’t regret either cartridge just hindered by mag length. Both smack the tar out of everything I’ve shot at.
