Nothing to do with Zastava Dean.

That makes sense, I too am not a fan of the short/fat magnum chamberings. The idea they are desirable because they fit in a short action is lost one me, I can cycle a long action just as fast as a short and the difference in overall length is negligible, not to mention the limitation on seating length for heavier bullets.. No real advantages and lots of draw backs, not the least of which is difficult feeding which is a real problem in a hunting rifle.
Thanks for clarifying.
