[QUOTE="Dirtybob1, post: 37122, member: 2382"] Thank you all. I wanted to use the short action and 22-inch barrel to keep the overall length of the rifle to a minimum, and make the rifle a little handier. Your comments on velocity are consistent with what I had heard; very little gain in velocity for the trouble. I considered the .260, but I think that is a little on the light side for mule deer. wapiti13: I would like to here more about you experience with the .284. I thought that the .284 would be too long for the mag well on a 700 SA (2.8 inches) when using 140 bullets. Not that it can't be done, but because the bullet is seated deeper, don't you end up loosing a lot of powder capacity to bullet seating? Thanks, Robert "Who will guard the guards?" Bill Shakespear.
