Howa 1500 6.5 CM Mag COAL

Chino Tom · Jul 17, 2017

Looking into a Howa Barreled action in 6.5 CM and was wondering
if anyone knows the max COAL in the ATI magazine that comes with
the DBM kit. Also, max COAL on the internal box magazine.

Thanks for your responses.

Can't help you on the DBM mags, but I can tell you I'm loading 140 Hybrids to around 2.86 COAL that just squeeze into the factory internal box. They've got about .040"-.050" clearance

Thanks for that. I ordered a magazine to measure before I take the plunge.

The ATI 5rd DBM magazine for the Howa 6.5CM is 2.84"
Not any room past Factory Hornady 140 gr Match ammo (2.8)

I've never measured the internal box mag. My detachable mag system Howa offers measures 2.840".
Edit: I just measured the box mag and the detachable mag.
Box mag = 2.895"
Detachable mag = 2.850"
