I am preparing for my 1st bolt gun build. I already have a vested reloading program for 6.5cm so that is what I am focusing on. I have been looking at several actions and am leaning toward Impact precision. My question here is, short action or long action. While I hand feed my rounds now cause the magazine does not accomodate the toal of my cartridges, it would be nice to have an action capable of utilizing the magazine. My thinking is the long action would be more accommodating. Or should I go aw cutout? Looking for advice from anyone wjo have been there done that. Thx

How long are your loads? My Accurate Magazine will take 2.95”. Bought it from Area 419.
147gr eld m, but I will have to conduct ladders to find what it like best. Heavest I can get away with as I would like to get into ELR.
New build. I know the loads dont fit in an ais mag.
2.888. 2.868 is max that mag will accept.
The Accurate magazine is an AICS pattern and my Bighorn Origin has zero issues with them. I’m also loading mine to 2.915”.

www.area419.com Cartridges are .020 longer than the mag. Be advised, the rifle is not build yet, I am attempting to avert a coal issue before it happens.
Standard mags yes, accurate mags no. Use accurate mags and you’ll be fine.
2.95 > 2.88 so you should just run AI style binderless mags. My 7SS is running 180 VLD in a binderless Accurate mag. They are loaded longer than your 147 cm loads...
Mdt makes a binder plate less mag as well which can tolerate 2.96 which is the mag I run my creed with, they are 2.890 long so I have ample space in the mag.
And a boring rem 700 can run that long if you notch it with a dremel.
