[QUOTE="WSMDRT, post: 793591, member: 20080"] My max length on factory winchester box was 3.05 if you want to load them in the mag. If you are ok single loading my chamber on factory M70 was a little longer. I think that's plenty long to push heavy bullets at reasonable speed. I was getting 2835 with 180s and factory barrel and H1000. If that's what you can get your hands on then you can make it work. Just got my custom 7 wsm back and coal is in the 2.9 range so I can load the mag full and still have room to chase the throat. I am shooting the 180 SMKs. I good comprise would be a 160s (162 amax great bullet)class bullet but its hard to not want to launch those "long and skinnies"....as you said. [/QUOTE]
