[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1980094, member: 2736"] Longer cartridges need longer actions and normally have more case capacity requiring more slow burning powder that needs a longer barrel. The short mags are very efficient at getting velocity with limited barrel length. They also don't need long barrels to get velocity. They do however use about the same amount of powder as their counter part but in a much more compact package. The poster wanted the shortest barrel/rifle possible and the short mag in a short action will do both. I have both the short and long action 338's and all tho the short mag cant compete with the wildcat 338 Texan, It does push a 200 grain bullet @ 2850 fr/sec and the 225 @ 2700+ in a 23" barrel. Just an Idea J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
