[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1548402, member: 77249"] With a short action 300 WSM, SAAMI list OALC of 2.860" or less. To allow cartridge to function proper through the magazine. If you use bullets longer than 1.260"you will need a longer action to allow longer OACL and a longer chamber throat, So the bullets do not take up powder space in the cartridge, Allowing a full case for slower burning powder required for heavier bullets. You would be trapped with a short action between bullet weight/length and powder capacity. Good Luck on this adventure. [/QUOTE]
