[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2744348, member: 27307"] While the .257 Ackley is a runaway favorite among hunters, some have encountered problems with the COAL in relationship with the short action magazine. Remington did release .257 Roberts ammunition designed for short actions but otherwise you need to make dummy cartridges to see where the bullets are seated to work through the magazines. Currently the simple solution is the .25 Creedmoor with any of the heavier (100gr.+) bullets like the Nosler Partition or the 133/135 Bergers. Loads and feeds from the standard short action magazines. Very efficient. I have always been a fan of the .250 Savage AI. It may be an older design but it makes for a superb rifle where a slightly shorter barrel might come in handy. There are several threads discussing the recent advent of the .25 caliber cartridges and bullets. :) [/QUOTE]
