[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1193255, member: 25383"] a lot of your post is dependent on the action you select. The Remington short action starts out too short for much of anything longer than 52mm in case length. But they still chamber the big six in it all the time. A Winchester M70 is about .100" longer, and of course better suited for the 57mm case length. The Savage is roughly .150" longer, and nearly perfect. Plus the Savage can be had in a single shot configuration. Magazine wells are restrictive in any rifle. Lets just say you want a 6mm fat case whatever. They all have they same issue. Too short of a neck length, but the 7mm case length necked down will do for a 6mm diameter. Still marginal. So your big on long VLD's, and you can also expect the base of the bullet to be in the shoulder unless your into free bore. The big six has a .350" neck length, and the VLD's fit right in there with little issues. gary [/QUOTE]
