[QUOTE="docdempster65, post: 2094245, member: 115875"] I tend to agree...;. short actions are the curse that came when military went for 7.62 x 51 NATO, AKA .308 Winchester. I've served with grunts and, yes, there is some extra weight, but I am so ancient as to have carried a basic load in '06 ammo. Very little weight savings (not noticeable even for me and I am a little guy.) There ARE good shorter cartridges...the .243 Winchester, .260 Remington, 7mm-08, and carefully loaded, yes, the .308 Winchester and moribund .358 Winchester. I still prefer the longer cases for reloading. My 6.5 x 55 SE is long action... Doc D [/QUOTE]
