[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2440255, member: 10291"] The Norma spec should be used by a factory, and performs best. The issue has come in where the factories will offer a short action and shorten the throat. This can mean a loss in the capacity/performance. They obviously never got the memo! The 6.5x284N needs 3.2” in the action/magazine length, which means a long action or a medium that is at least this length(3.2’). The factories seem to take liberties with throating when they supply a SA. Unfortunately, this same issue seems to be popping up with the 6.5PRC. While a bit shorter the the 6.5x284, it still needs at least a medium action to extract the best performance….It has been promoted/sold as a short action. The Savage rifles chambered in 6.5x284N are near exact to the Norma spec. with a .188” throat, are supplied in a long action, and, at least in the ones I have seen/used, performs as it should.. My Cooper(LA) meets the spec as well. [/QUOTE]
