[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2806652, member: 101791"] Why short yourself on powder. Presently having a 25/280AI being built on a Rem 700 action. Yes it requires a long action, but why short yourself on length of action. These bullets are getting longer and longer and need more length to chamber the cartridge. There had been a petty long discission on long verse short actions. The biggest point was the bullet length getting longer and not being able to chamber a round from the mag into the chamber, because the round wouldn't fit inside the magazine to feed into the action. The ease to change out barrels to something else later on without having to get a new action. I am going to the point of having a dummy action being set up to fireform my cases without doing it in the rifles I am going to use for down range shooting. It does require another action, and barrels with reamers to set up. Once the action and stock is set up it isn't that hard to change out barrels to fireform other cases. The other is I have learn to purchase a reamer for the rifle I having built. [/QUOTE]
