Tikka action to short for 280ai?

[LJT88]

Every time I search threads about Tikka actions and 280ai there seems to be a pretty split opinion whether T3X is able to effectively run a 280ai with 175 class bullets.

280 AI and 175 eldx

Looking for anyone shooting 175 eldx out of a 280 ai. Got any suggestions and any need to try loads?

My question isn’t about the 280ai being able to spit out 175 class bullets effectively but whether the Tikka action is long enough to handle that length cartridge

It 100% is, but not from factory mags.

That wouldn’t be an issue as I would be putting it into an aftermarket stock/chassis.
