[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 1492864, member: 75397"] Because the short actions are cheaper to get, factory Remington and aftermarket, lighter. I know I should know by now that any short action cartridge with “magnum velocities” don’t belong in a short action if your going to shoot hand loads eventually with bigger bullets and the people that make such rounds should accommodate for that but don’t. I really would like to have a 7ss or 6.5ss but dang the brass is expensive!!! Even the new prc is cheaper but Hornady brass from what I hear is just that, “cheap”, and SAUM brass is not much better priced with a rebated rim and hard to find. So that brings me to something that is saami approved, factory ammo is on the shelf if I need it and once you do go to a long action from what I’ve read you do get around the 3000fps with 147-150’s. So by that time with a long action I believe there are better contenders out there. It just amazed me at how fast the 300RCM with its 30 cal 178-180bullet at a COL of 2.830-2.840 can get possibly 2600-2650. I still think a 6.5prc necked to 7mm would work great but I have no idea, I’m still learning about the trade/profession/art. Still would probably need a long action though. I can see on a print of a reamer where and what the freebore is but on a print of the cartridge I don’t have the eye for that and like I’m saying I’m still learning the art. Can’t wait to start reloading when I catch up on bills and save money for reloading and another build, 3 rifle builds in a year got a little more expensive than I thought!!! [/QUOTE]
