[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 794288, member: 11717"] It's hard to say what the difference in velocity performance would be in getting max case capacity vs seating the fit the box. I wouldn't think anymore than 50 fps. I've never done a comparison. After having one WSM in a short action, I've decided I won't go that route again because I use long high BC bullets. If I was shooting 165's or even lead core 180's it would be a different story. But my rifles are for LR, so I use the longer bullets and put the priority on max efficiency. A 700 clone LA is a bit of over kill. Any WSM builds I do will be on Howa/Vanguards which are a little shorter or if in the budget, the XM action sounds perfect but you would need a customized stock for the XM. The feeding between a SA and a LA should really not be a big deal if you set it up properly. [/QUOTE]
