[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2094072, member: 61747"] Very few people have actually documented the increase in effect of seating a bullet .050-.100 further out of case and the increase in performance. Most just spew opinion without any real merit to the argument about what exactly the benefit is. IF you have specific example of a specific cartridge then arguing a SA, MA, or LA makes a bit of sense but to say a SA is bs is just flat ignorant. I ran a 204, 6.5CM, and a 243 in a long action with 3.75 COAL capability. Complete waste of space. If you restrict a SA to nothing more than 2.80 COAL it usually has more to do with the magazine and less to do with the action throw and opening. My savage and bighorn actions can handle 3.0 without issue but the mag is limited to around 2.950. That is .070 more room for a PRC, SAUM, etc. and it works well. So not all SA set ups are the same and not all SA are restricting performance like some want to believe. [/QUOTE]
