[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2695898, member: 94556"] Clearly a 3006 length action is what I refer to as a “long” action and all the newer short mags like the 6.5 PRC, the Shermans, 6.8 Western, all the WSMs and even the 308 Win and possibly the 260 Rem and 7mm08 benefit from a long action because of the long ogived high BC bullets available. It’s not like I don’t have short action rifles, because in having them I have come to realize how they limit the cartridges that are marketed for them. As far as the 6 mm Creed, its a nice cartridge but the good old 243Win and 244Rem out do it. As I have posted before, modern SRP brass and temp stable ball powders, and high BC lathe turned copper bullets used in the .308 and .243, especially the latter, really unlock performance from these “old” favorites beyond what the designers hoped for.
