[QUOTE="wm5l, post: 235335, member: 10373"] I have a very early A-bolt that is in .257 Roberts that was my fathers. It has a very short box magazine. I cant seem to get the bullets seated out far enough for it to shoot well and still fit in the mag. I am guessing the throat is long. I was thinking of rebarreling it to something shorter like a 25 Souper (25-308) or a 260Rem. since they are so much shorter. I have a 6mm so a 243 is out and 3, 7mm-08s I want to keep it close to where it is now. I will be using it for deer size stuff or large varmits. I am not agnist a long range type setup as I dont have anything for that now. Any thoughts or suggestions [/QUOTE]
