So, I wanna build a 260AI rifle that will also be used for hunting. I was thinking about building it on a long action, that way I could load 140vlds or amaxs out to the mag length of 3.4" and it would still be a repeater. Also, I would probably have the throat cut long so bullet wouldn't be touchig the lands until 3.3-3.4".
This combo seems like it would have CRAZY case capacity and yet still be a repeater and good brass life since it's an ackley.
Am I missing something? Anyone ever done this setup? Any info or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
