I have a model 700 with an unaltered box magazine formerly 7 Rem Mag now, 7 STW. Gave the 168 VLDs a try. If they shot well I was going to get a Wyatt's extended box mag. I got so so results single loading with bullets close to the rifling. Just for the heck of it I seated them to fit and feed from the existing magazine as a last ditch effort. Much to my surprise with an approx. .170" jump they shot bugholes! Load: Moly coated 168 Berger VLD, Fed 215 match, Rem brass, 82.5 gr of RL-25 for vel of 3200 when temps are lower than 65 degrees.
You don't know what a rifle likes till you try them.
