[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 163586, member: 4950"] Might want to check with your gunsmith about this before writing off the short magnums. For example, my stock Savage cycles 300WSM with no problems at all (if I don't short-stroke it:D). From years of autopistol shooting, I know that the geometry of the magazine lips, feed ramp, and chamber are very critical for reliable feeding, especially how the magazine presents the cartridge for loading. It may just take a miniscule change in one dimension to make your rifle stone reliable. In a custom pistol, this is one of the hardest things to get right, and I'd guess the same thing applies to a custom rifle. One day, when I win the lotto, maybe I'll find out for myself. [/QUOTE]
