    Don't use a short action is what I was told by quite a few people, almost put me off doing it. Glad it didn't!

    We'll see how it goes and then I might free my self of the 7mm Rem Mag...

    That makes sense. Mine is a short action as well. With 140gn projectiles they JUST fit in the mag so I haven't bothered to go any bigger, but that doesnot bother me as there is nothing in NZ that I can't knock over with a 140gn projectile. (All my Sambar shooting has been done with a 25-06 after all!!!!)

    My 30/284 in a short action performs above expectations.
