Length, not caliber, determines action size
Short action.
What caliber is it? The length of the rifle cartridge determines if it is a long or short action.
The 223 is considered a Short Action rifle.
The caliber designation of 7mm-08 is considered a short action.
It depends on what caliber it is chambered in.
It depends on the particular model of the rifle, not the caliber it is in. What model and make is it?
The .270 Winchester is a long action cartridge. It is a .30-06 Springfield necked down to hold a .277 caliber bullet.
A short action would be a 308 caliber, a long action would be a 30-06 caliber. This terminology is used by the manufacturers. The physical difference is about 1/4 inch in bullet length. Copy and paste link for more information. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_5_47/ai_72407692

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.
25-06 is a 30-06 necked down to .25 caliber. Like it's parent cartridge it is long action.
