Understood, I just see some inherent limitations in using short actions in regards to what you can realistically expect in long distance performance without going long with bullet seating; just like the grendel and creedmoor (which actually were purpose-designed for bullets to be seated long) without encroaching on case capacity. With higher BC bullets in the AR you will likely hit the wall faster between seating the higher BC bullets longer and seating them deeper in the case, possibly with the base of ogive into the neck, in order to get them to adequately feed and chamber. Getting them to that point after a violent cycling in good style is hard to do in itself. But I don't have any of those chambering in an AR, and especially since you have friends that have already done it that's a big help. I look forward to being shown wrong by you.
