[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 89840, member: 1067"] Kirby, The pictures of the 100 and 107 grain Wildcats is is getting me revved up in expectation of what you 224 AM, and also what my somewhat smaller .224 Clark will do with those ICBM's. Are you still hoping to get around 3,500 fps with the 100 grain ULD? I note that those using the .25/300 WSM (or .270) easily get 3500 fps (and more) with the 100 grain bullet.(as you would expect) This is not meant as a criticism, but one aspect of your rifle configuration puzzles me. You mention that you are going to use it in single shot mode until you can find another magazine. However, why did you choose a short action Rem 700, with its 2.800 inch magazine length restriction? Surely a long action Rem 700 would have been a simpler option, as I estimate that the overall length will be about 3.120 with the 100 grain ULD seated to the base of the neck. (3.180 with the 107ULD) Also, out of curiosity are you using a R700 action with WSM or RSAUM (.535 boltface), or is it possible to safely open up a standard .473 boltface to .535. Brian. [/QUOTE]
