The OAL of the cartridge does require a mid length action if you want to load 140s plus to a long length and use a magazine.

But the world has changed a lot since that was the rule of thumb and 100 to 130 grain bullets will fit into a 308 length magazine and feed through a Rem 700 SA.

So a bit of a rethink is needed here, instead of defaulting to the 1980s mantra we have grown so comfortable with.
