Great article. I mostly own short actions but I also mostly own moderate velocity cartridges based on the 308 (7-08, 308, 338 Federal). Those fit excellent. My 257R and 350 Rem mag can be a little tight but a vast majority of those bullets have ogives that work fine with short actions. None of those cartridges are trying to be barn burners in a short action. You make an excellent point about some of the short magnums trying to squeeze so much velocity out of a short action. If I want a magnum, I'd go long action for sure.
