[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1818781, member: 66917"] I built mine on a medium Defiance action and have had zero length issue worries. At the time the 156 didn't exist so I had the Smith set up the chamber throat to put the ogive in the lands with the bullet base just above the case neck shoulder junction. That way the powder column can go all the way to the neck shoulder before the bullet touches it. The defiance magazine allows about 3.2 OAL and most of my reloads are running around 3.0ish. It also gives my a little room to chase the lands. You can do the same setup with a long action if you can't use a medium. Lots of short actions have been built as well you just have to do more to get the right magazine and setup the bolt travel etc and you loose some case space with the super long bullets, but they work. The factory stuff will not cycle from a straight up short action 700 for example. [/QUOTE]
