[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 441162, member: 13632"] I must have missed that your from Wa, I lived in Ritzville for a few years wouldn't have mentioned the 22cal if I'd caught that. I've never had an issue with loading high BC bullets like the 105 Berger in a short action 243, always had plenty of room but I've always shot them in Savages or Howa's, you'll have the same issue with any thing that size with high BC bullets, if you want the best bullet with the least recoil you want the lightest high BC bullet, in other words a 140gr bullet out of a 7mm will have less BC and more recoil than a 105 gr high BC 243 bullet and a 140gr 7mm bullet is longer than a 100+gr 243 so you'd be back to over all length again. I can see having the head stamp match, we fire form 243 brass and you have to watch it when we load for it, I prefer the 250AI to the 257 and the 25-06 because it is a little tamer and works nice in a short action, it is a very nice shooting chambering and very mild but very capable. If you look at bullet length as an issue the 6.5's are longer than the 243's and longer than a bunch of the bullets a guy would load in a light recoiling 7mm. [/QUOTE]
