[QUOTE="geocodyrgia, post: 1278412, member: 98212"] Good news is that it is a Savage long action, but it seems to come down to using a shorter cartridge for the long/heavy bullets or adjusting the magazine length in my gun. I had long considered going to some kind of chassis platform with AICS or equivalent magazines, maybe that is the answer. Truthfully I should have seen this coming. I tried playing around with the Berger .277 170 gr bullets just for grins knowing they probably wouldn't work in my 10 twist barrel but they didn't come close to fitting in the magazine when loaded to my "jam length" for that barrel. They DID look ready to enter the stratosphere however! [/QUOTE]
