[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2093514, member: 1521"] Long or short aside, I wish for magnum diameters, for larger barrel tenons. While I'm at it I'll ask for finer threading, barrel nut & and coned breech. Some for greater chamber and breech support. I would like this even for smaller cartridges (like 223). I built a 26wssm Imp with a magnum single shot action to ensure I my loads would leave behind all who had failed with wssms. It worked. And with it, I noticed that while the cartridge is merchandised for short actions, it is not with heavy for 26cal bullets. I had to have the ports extended to eject loaded rounds. So I cannot imagine a wsm cartridge in a short action. Side note: I do not use Remington actions. Never liked them. So if 'long' or 'short' is purely based on Remington, then my input here may be worthless.. [/QUOTE]
