What is the difference in mini action vs short action?
Will the mini action affect the overall length of the cartridge? Will a case with an 80-grain bullet fit the magazine and feed into the chamber?
Thanks for the help

Hi Timothy and welcome. Mini Action is a shorter throw bolt and will not affect the actual cartridge chambering. Cheers and stay safe!

the Mini action just has a shorter bolt throw than a full size action the 80 grain bullet will fit just fine
