Are there any downsides to building a Sherman short mag on a long action? Currently building a 338 Sherman but contemplating my next one and thinking about one of the SS or SST which needs the mag bolt face.

Is a Savage action worth building it on? You can swap out the bolt heads easily, correct?

If I were looking at building a Short action Sherman designed cartridge on a long action, I would do the Max. It is the exact same design only a little longer with increased performance.
 
great.... what info do you have on the 300 and 6.5? i don't see those on your website. Was debating on the 6.5 when i decided on the 338 Sherman.

The 6.5 Max should run the 156 Berger North of 3200' and the 300 should push a 200 grainer ai 3150'
