[QUOTE="Smokepoles, post: 1171180, member: 79002"] I'm building one on a long action currently but have some spare parts I'm thinking of putting to use. I have a savage short action ready for a light weight carry build for fl white tails. I also have a 6.5-284 sporter take off without a home. Has anyone had success with anything in the 130 gr range successfully feeding in a savage short action mag? The mag box measured 2.98 inside, I'm hoping I can feed it 130 accubond, partitions, or similar without breaking the mag box restriction. I'll lug the long action around if I expect to shoot real far and need the 140's, just looking for something lighter that'll knock one down out to 400 yds or so. I can pull out the books and the barrel and do the math but figured I'd ask for some real world experience first. If I'm peeing in the wind here I'll look for another barrel and caliber but if I can use it I may as well. Thanks in advance guys. [/QUOTE]
