[QUOTE="PETERW, post: 177781, member: 9474"] BHP9 Thanks for the information. I will do a bit of research using this to compare seating depth on the various options I am thinking about. My idea is to try to combine two barrels - one .338 the other 30-338 with a given action. If a repeater action were used I need to check that the mag length is long enough to accommodate the long VLD's in 30 cal. To gain weight in the lower calibre the 240 SMK's are quite a long bullet which I want to check if they would be seated where I want them and still feed in the mag. The .338 bullets should be less of an issue - although I have found in the past with different rifles that with a Saami chambering - usually the ideal seating depth for the best accuracy for the round ( normally into the lands by varying degrees ) means that your best OAL for accuracy is slightly too long for the mag. This can be overcome with a custom reamer and custom barrel - ensuring that the throat is correct for the mag length - hence the information you have given will be very helpful. Ronin, I agree with you on the AW stocks. For me the thumb hole/vertical space is tight and nips the web of my hand. Where as the A5 is better..... If this had the AW's folding stock option it would be an awful lot better.... However I am still uncertain that I can do all I want to AND use a mag feed system..... Like you I think I will give it more thought. Let me know if you decide you want to bring in a Surgeon action as I have a number of options with guys who have done so....Peter Walker can help or Rob Hunter...Derek could probably do so as well either by himself or through Callum perhaps. All the best Peter. [/QUOTE]
