Can anyone explain the difference between long track and short track in bar rifles? Is it just the shell length and bolt throw or is there more to it? And is it the same in bolt action with long and short actions?

long trac = .270, 3006 etc length cartridges
Short trac = 308 length
Nice, cheers. I want sure that it was that simple.
Cool. Another query is I own a cheap 308 that shoots fine, but was looking at investing in an x bolt and was wondering bout 3006 Ackley or Gibbs. Would I gain a lot from raising the shoulder or would it be more sense to go along the lines of 300 wssm
You can doll up a 30-06 all you like but if you want more speed go 300wm
Cheers, makes better sense in the long run in ammo, cases to buy and collect etc
