[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2474484, member: 61747"] I doubt you're being robbed of anything. Guys running long actions aren't getting much of any performance benefits over short actions. Where the is potential for gains is 2 fold: 1. Using a large kernel slow burn powder and fill rate is such you have to compress the charge heavily. Couple of issues there for sure. 2. Seating the bullet too far off the lands if the bullet design is not forgiving of jump. For example old designs where short jump to jamming was the only way to get accuracy. Today, you have better powder choices and bullet designs that are not nearly as critical so you can get away with a lot of old school no no's. You can easily jump bergers .75-.200 and see excellent results. Old design was -.005-.010 when I started using them. [/QUOTE]
