[QUOTE="juglow, post: 3031971, member: 128004"] Hello LRH community. First, I want to thank you all for the support and knowledge I have learned from you. I still have a lot to learn and I have one big take away from my build I would like your feedback on. Let me say, I am still impressed with my build (7MM Saum) but I am a bit upset with myself and Lone Peak Arms (my action and those I sought expert advice from prior to ordering my Fuzion TI Magnum Action. I assumed based on my conversation with them, that I would have greater clearance being built as a magnum but that is not the case. Lessons learned; I should have ordered a medium action. So here is my dilemma. Sorry, I don't know all the lingo yet. I got my action mid-July 2023 and just finished mid-January. -I found that my bullet contacted the lands at 3.110". My Mag length is 2.990". I tried first by loading at 2.990 and the rounds would not feed (they hit the action before releasing up into the chamber). I tried cutting back the mag cartridge retainer so it would release the cartridge earlier and it did help but in order for the round to feed without cutting the mag back further, my overall length was 2.775". I did shoot 10 rounds at different charges and one charge literally shot through the same hole, below (I only shot 2 round groups). My concern, I am way too far off the lands for comfort and barrel life? I wanted it to be at mag length (Worse case) but I am well over 1/4" off the lands currently. I have not reached back out to Lone Peak yet for their advice. This was my 100yd group at 2.775" [ATTACH type="full" width="238px"]543039[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
