[QUOTE="B23, post: 491456, member: 13222"] My 6-284 is on a M700 short action too and I think one of the most important factors to keep in mind when using a SA w/6-284 is using a smith that knows how to build a 6-284 on a SA. If you want to load to, or close to, the lands and still use it as a repeater with no feeding issue you have to obviously seat the bullet deeper and if it wasn't setup correctly to do that you will either not have your bullets touching or close to touching or if you do have them close then they will be to long to feed thru the mag. My dad has a 22-6mm on a short action and the guy that built it didn't keep those things in mind because when my dad loads for his 22-6mm it shoots really well at 20thou off but at 20thou off the lands using a Berger 75VLD it is way to long to feed thru the mag. I'm pretty sure they make a longer box for the SA M700 which would certainly help this issue but I'm not sure how much extra length you gain but I'm sure there is somebody here that could answer that.
