[QUOTE="Nevrsummr, post: 2535531, member: 112260"] I wish i was good enough that the bolt cycle time between LA / SA made any difference to me. Im not. I would think a lot of people are not. As the higher bc bullets are getting longer/heavier, the short action has become limiting to some as already stated. Medium actions are a solution to that. But so are long actions. I think the draw to a shorter action to me would be the shorter oal of the rifle, and a few oz of weight savings. That being said. I own only LA's Yes you can have feed issues with SA cartridges in LA actions. Depends on the cartridge. Theres also already some solutions in place for that too. I currently have a 6.5 max in a LA with BDL and i have to carefully load the bullets about 1/2" forward from the back to get them to feed. Thinking i might try to switch it up to DBM to try and fix that. I dont think you would have any problems with most of your standard cartridges though. [/QUOTE]
