[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1576326, member: 87243"] Thank you!! and the short action "problem" thing really is overstated with a .260 or .260 ai. The only time you will be limited is in a factory Remington sa mag box, and even in that case, a smith can switch out for a Wyatts 3.00" mag box for relatively cheap. Pretty much any other short action has plenty of room for them, or takes very little modification to do so, or in my case, run an AICS mag system. The ARC mags I'm using allow for 2.970" OAL, so this is no issue. This is a SAAMI .260 length throat, and after around 1200-1400 rounds my OAL with the 147's is around 2.910", seated .005" off lands, and Berger VLD's are very similar, within a 10 or 15 thousands. And as far as the bullet being seated too far in the case and robbing performance....it may be taking away some velocity, I don't know because I haven't ran one throated out, but over 3000 fps with 147's is pretty stellar performance out of this cartridge in my mind, especially when I see most SAUM's running in the same velocity range. Also, accuracy is like this....the black dot is the bottom of a spray paint can. So I'm happy with it!!![ATTACH=full]122745[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]122746[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]122747[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
