[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 699124, member: 21068"] I think you did great by cheating with a long action:) I probably should've had my 300 WSM done on a long action, instead of a short action with a 3.0" magazine box. Sure, 180's will run jammed at 2.91+ and still feed in the mag, but the base of the bearing surface is well under the neck/shoulder junction and stealing powder column in the process. Maybe not much with 180's, but I can't imagine how much would be lost with the 200+ pills. Just my opinion, but the 300WSM probably[I] really needs[/I] to be done on a long action. Similarily the 6.5-284 only gets all it gusto by living in a long action, shooting long bullets, and having a long hallway to run down. Even though both cartridges were originally designed to shoot in short actions, we didn't have the High BC extra long bullets in those days. [/QUOTE]
