Does anyone know of list or table of various manufacturers actions with magazine length and the cartridge overall lengths which will fit them?
Most of today's popular cartridges had their SAAMI cartridge length specifications set before VLD bullets became available and popular.
In some situations for example using a cartridge like the 7mm Rem Mag with a 3.34" SAAMI spec works well in a Rem 700 3.6" action designed for a 300 H&H or similar. But who makes actions between 2.8" (nominal short action) and 3.34" (30-06 / 7mm mag) standard length which will work with the SAUM and WSM cartridges to shoot VLDs? I was hoping for a list with both US and European makes by name and model, preferably still in production. Both fixed and detachable magazine and both bolt and semi-auto are of interest.
