[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1561615, member: 3728"] ! Wyattls makes an extended magazine box for the bdl type floor plate. The machinist lengthens the mag well on a Rem 700 short or long action .120 and this will give you a lot of extra room in your Remington 700. They make a super long mag box for a long action like the 28 Nosler. 260 AI is all over 3000-3100 fps with the 140's, and I like a #5 taper cut at 27" off a 28" blank. We did a test with Hornady brass in the 6.5 creed with a fed 215 and 143x using R#26 with a long drop tube Forster benchrest powder funnel, R#26 top end load was 2950 with 5/8" groups, but at 2850, bug holes abound. We later changed out to a remarkable powder for the creed, Superperformance at at 2900 we were shooting groups in the 4's, with 5 shots. [/QUOTE]
