[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3030384, member: 122164"] I start projects like this "action choice" by buying the brass, bullets, and dies first. I seat the bullet where I want it to be in the neck, then add .160, which is my best guess on how much leade growth I anticipate to have by the time the barrel is shot out(1400 rounds). I measure the cartridge's overall length, then go shopping for actions that will ensure the best possible chance of success in the project. This process is humbling because of how easily we make bad choices. The 260 AI is the PPC of the 6.5 Calibers, along with the 6.5x47 Lapua....just dumb butt simple to tune sub 3/8" Groups. I have a 6.5x55 on a Rem long action, Krieger 8T, but it is harder to tune than the 6.5x47 and 260 AI. I would have a wyatts mag box that is .120 longer installed in a Rem Short action or use a Tikka for the budget-minded. [/QUOTE]
