What OAL in your factory Rem 700, 300 RUM\'s?
Hello, I just got 500rnds of Federal RUM brass, and am itching to load some of it up. My gun is at the smith getting a holland brake installed, so I wont have it for 3 weeks.
I want it to feed from the mag, (it's a rem 700 cdl)
my nosler book is saying 3.6" OAL, but do you guys load longer than that? i am loading up 180 BT's, some 200 AB's, and some 220 SMK's?
any info would be appreciated..thanks

load to whatever the limiting factor is on your own gun. might be the magazine, might be the rifle lands.

so you're saying wait till I get the rifle back before loading, so I can check the lands?
I have the magazine so I know that dimention, but the barrel is at the smiths. Don't the factory barrels have the lands set out a ways?
thanks for the inof guys..

I was under the impression that the magazine only supports up to 3.6" OAL. I load at 3.65" and I cant fit them into the magazine. I don't have the rifle in front of me as I am at work but i'm pretty sure 3.6 is the max.
