[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 149929, member: 10"] What receiver is on your rifle. That will give us an idea what magazine length you have. Your problem with any tipped bullet will be in fitting the rounds in the mag and still being able to get to the lands for good accuracy which is generally the best place to seat your bullets, not always however. As such, I would recommend a bullet with either a HP or small flat point. YOu will not get the high BCs but if you want to get the bullets in the magazine you may not have any other choice. I would get ahold of Richard Graves and Wildcat Bullets. He makes some Flat base HP bullets that would get you as much BC as possible but still give you a good shot at them working well in the magazine. Bullet weights should probably be kept under 150 grains if you do not what to cut into case capacity to much. If you are using a Rem 700, you may consider having your rifle converted to use one of the longer Wyatt magazine boxes. This would help with some extra length in your ammo. Just my opinion, Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
