I'm planning out my first custom build so still working on figuring it all out. I'm doing a 7 saum and am pretty much set on a short action..I know that'll cause ejection issues of a loaded round with bullets like the 180 vld but I mostly plan on shooting 168s. I already have a barrel sitting in the safe waiting for an action, so I'm focus on selecting an action at the moment and need help. Is there any short action that would be better for the longer bullets or is it pretty much the same across the board. I looked at the ARC nucleus but it lists max coal at 2.94 where a lot of the others say 2.98-2.995..So with that action is it not able to feed the longer bullets? Because if I go with a Mesa precision summit or another action that holds a wyatts extended mag I can get up to that 2.995 range right? I just don't want to be restricted too much. Especially if I ever decide to shoot the 175-180 range bullets..any input or experience would be great!
