[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1282174, member: 27307"] pburton, I have used an OAL 3.650" for many of the long action cartridges and the longer VLD bullets without problems in the M700 magazine boxes. If you have decided to use a Remington M700 for the basis of your rifle, you have it made without having to jump through any hoops. The long action comes with a long magazine box which will accommodate the 300 Win. Mag. case plus the Berger 215 Hybrid seated properly in the neck of the case. This also allows for adjusting the OAL if you decide to try to chase the lands as your throat wears. If you decide that you really want the longer VLDs then you can switch to a DBM system and use Accurate Mags which run all the way out to 3.850" but will need their system or a chassis which accommodates that length mag. Otherwise, you can use standard AI mags set up for CIP length cartridges and limit the length to 3.750" which do not use the spacer in the mag. Work this through with your gunsmith as he will have the information about the ideas you may want. Regards. [/QUOTE]
