[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 884936, member: 12995"] When people say "standard" or "magnum" or .223" they are not referring to the length of the action. They are talking about the diameter of the bolt-face, or how commonplace the action is. If you had a "standard" long-action, you would be building a .270 Win, .280 Rem, .30-06, 25-06 Rem, 6.5 Sherman, or any other caliber that uses a .473" diameter bolt-face. I just did a google search and found this on this site...I had seen it before but couldn't find it. This is a quick reference guide to help you out, since you are new to action lengths, and bolt-face diameters and stuff like that.
