[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 620979, member: 24624"] The 175 Berger OTM fits this rifle like a glove. I'm not sure that a longer VLD would clear the magazine. Of course, we haven't shot any loads just yet. This is a 700 trued and rebarreld by Stiller. I don't know what reamer they used. Measured OAL to ogive using Hornady tool with 175gr Berger OTM touching rifling. Ogive OAL = 2.268" Subtracted .010" (desired jump to the lands to start load workup) = 2.258" Measured COAL to bullet tip = 2.876" to tip with .010" jump Made dummy round matching desired ogive OAL = 2.258" (COAL=2.876" to tip) Measured AICS magazine length = 2.888" ~.012" clearance for cartridges in this magazine. Confirmed dummy round just fits in 3 AICS magazines cleanly and stacks all the way to the bottom without rubbing. The bearing surface uses just over half of the neck and the boat tail sits just below the neck. -- richard [/QUOTE]
