I have seen a few guys say that some 6mm's are too long for the short actions. I hope my next question is not too silly. Can you choose a short or long action for any caliber that would fit in a short action? I have always ASSUMED that a 308 is short, and there is no way you could put a 308 in a long action, but I never really knew why.
Lets take a 6mm cart that is longer than a 308 cart.... could/should you use a long action to build that gun? I have also assumed a shorter action is more accurate, and I assume it's cause less,actually shorter) moving parts mean stronger stiffer and less movement, thus more accurate.
Is there a distinct advantage to a shorter action rifle?
Please excuse my ignorance.... I'm just a deer hunter that loves to shoot, and I found a nice site that has a TON of info for me to learn.
