Generally, short-action center fire rifles are limited to rounds with an OAL similar to 308. Longer magnum rounds will almost be always found in long action receivers. That's the whole marketing effort behind the WSM rounds; short action magnums.

Some mfrs term the actions thus:
Short: up to about .223 Medium: Up to about .30-'06 Long: longer than .30-'06 Magnum: Any long, belted case, generally longer than .30-06 There are a number of systems, each as "correct" as the other. Basically, it pertains to the size of the cartridge (mostly length), which in turn determines the length of bolt throw. The shorter the throw, the quicker the action, in general. |
