I thought that was only true of bolt actions? I've been told that for everything else you need to FL size or the action wouldn'tclose all the way as only the bolt action has that camming motion that shoves the case all the way inward.

Yes, I'm just looking for something that will reach a little farther and with more thump at the end still. The .44 has some reach with the right bullet.
I guess I'm looking for a straight wall that can at least come close to what you can do with the .45-70 in that it has the reach, the energy, and can be used for either target shooting or some hunting opportunies that aren't for in close only but at least medium range.
