[QUOTE="WeiserBucks, post: 1290884, member: 97492"] Is this something you're thinking about doing or something you've already done? Obviously it can be done, but a short action will neuter the cartridge somewhat . You might get 2900 with 140's in a 24" bbl , but you will be pushing it pretty hard , high pressures and poor brass life. If you already have this done in a short action, I'd go with the 130 grain bullets. You will get good speed without having to put the pedal to the metal and 130's still have a respectable BC.
