the 220 swift is considered a long action.
Long or short refers to the length of the cartridge the action will handle. .308 (parent case of the .243) is a short action.
Rough rule of thumb- 30-06 and longer= long action. .308 and shorter= short action.
Ruger American Rifle short action calibers (.243 Win, .308 Win, 7mm .08 Rem, 22-250)
Browning only lists two action lengths for the BLR, standard and long. The 257 Roberts is in the standard action. It can legitimately be used in a short or long action depending on the bullet used and the maker of the rifle.
