[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 757451, member: 11960"] I actually have a 19" 338-284 barrel for the Savage. I ran it on both short and long actions and decided that the short action was the best. I run the 185gr TTSX over 55gr of Ramshot TAC powder to get 2760fps from the short barrel. I never had any trouble with the OAL when using the lighter bullets. Once I got over about 210gr, I felt like I was loosing performance because of the magazine restrictions. I did have trouble getting the case to feed 100% because of the rebated rim. I ended up moving the barrel on to a Striker pistol and using it as a single shot. Neat caliber though. Good luck with the build! Andrew [/QUOTE]
