Swift with 1-8 Twist

You guys that have 1-8 Swifts, how would I chamber to handle the 75 Amax
(if you can ever buy them again) and conventianal 50 and 55's? Also, would a long action work better or would it cause problems?
 
I just got my reamer for my 8 twist Swift project a month ago and the barrel the other day. Pictured is the reamer print. .078 freebore and a .254 neck set up for Norma brass neckturned to .014 thickness. This is the right amount of freebore for 75 A-Max and also 80 grain bullets. If one were to shoot 50 and 55's best bet would be to seat them to the OAL as per the load manual and try them. They will be jumping quite a bit but I have found out in the past that Nosler BT's like a hefty jump. Hope this helps.
