[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 455045, member: 2215"] I agree with coyboy about using the Kwik Klip. It's a inexpensive alternative and it keeps you with a center feed detachable box. A standard long action mag box will work but I've had a lot of trouble getting the WSM cartridges to feed properly in a staggered feed. A TAC 30 (short action) would have done the job along with a Wyatts CFE5 box mag, and PTG bottom metal. As far as barrel length a 24" barrel using Hornady 208g A-Max with a BC of .648 and a muzzle velocity of just 2800 will give you enough energy to cleanly take deer size game out to 1200 yards effectively. Knock the barrel down to 22" and loose 60fps and your only loosing 25 yards of effective range. The muzzle velocities are a little on the low end just to show the cartridge / bullet performance capabilities. [/QUOTE]
