[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1444362, member: 3728"] 25/284 with any kind of vld is a long action build. Lee31's pictures makes this point all too plain to see. I had trouble with 115g Nosler Ballistic tips and OAL in a Remington 700 std mag length with the 25/284, and this was a very costly lesson to learn. Nosler Long range accubonds like to jump .120 or a tad more in 7mm, all other VLD's I have shot are picky on OAL they demand for accuracy. There is around 6 oz of weight difference between a Rem long action and short action...no big deal. I just hope that you do not make the mistake that I made putting the 25/284 cartridge on a short action and want to shoot VLD bullets. My 25/284 was a rock chuck rifle and of course I needed to be able to chase the lands as the leade grew. Just imagine how ****ed I was when I could not touch the lands with the bullet seated at max magazine OAL in a brand new rifle! So, two barrels were shot out as single shots. The barrel would not shoot well at all jumping bullets, but when I seated the 115's up against the lands, I got bug holes. [/QUOTE]
