[QUOTE="grit, post: 671118, member: 4112"] I didn't mean to confuse you. I'm strictly speaking about optimizing the cartridge performance for long range use. Many cartridges are cramped by the magazine when using the long VLD bullets we use for long range shooting. Literally, most cartridges. The Winchester short mags were developed for Winchesters short action, which is longer then Remingtons. This makes them particularly cramped in a Remington short action. If you seat a 180 Berger to the neck shoulder junction of a 7WSM it simply will not feed through a short action. I regularly build WSM's on long actions to utilize the case capacity and seat the bullets where they belong. The Remington short action ultra mags were designed for Remingtons (shorter) short action. They are still cramped. But, an extended magazine box will allow you to run VLD's seated where they belong. [/QUOTE]
