[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1284779, member: 27307"] Lonewolf74, You can skip the Wyatts box and the alterations. Use the PTG bottom metal and the longer 3.850" magazines. Loading either of the two cartridges with the 230 gr. Berger Hybrid leaves little of the bullet shank in the neck when the bullet is seated out to 3.850". You can seat nearly 0.300" of that bullet shank in the neck and basically be at 3.650" OAL and the boattail is in the shoulder. Now this will change if you decide to use the monometallic, lathe turned bullets in the longer VLDs. But you have about 0.200" to play with based on the magazine length. Regards. [/QUOTE]
