COAL in a short action

[IndianaMatt]

What is the maximum COAL in a short action repeater?

 

[elkaholic]

Depends on the make but most factory loads are 2.8

 

[L.Sherm]

With a wyatt box about 2.990 in a 700

 

[elkaholic]

Or a Bainey up to 3.11

New Ultralight Arms' model 20 is 3"

Or have your gunsmith alter the rifle. My two SA M77 tang safety Rugers will fit and feed ammo with a coal of 3.050". Work done by Joe Reid at Harry Lawson Co in Tucson.

Kimber 8400 short action is 3.030

The last comment had me remembering that the Tikka T3 light my friend owns in 308 was able to install a 30-06 mag box. It required altering the bolt stop. Can't quote the new COAL off the top of my head.

The website says 2.880 is 2.990 a typo?

No, the MBE-4 is 3.007 outside and 2.995 inside
