[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 808613, member: 5219"] This a common problem having short magazines in factory offerings. You can have the mag box lengthened on your Ruger. I have two SAs and a LA that my gunsmith altered. I would say try the bullet. If you cannot get it to shoot then try one of the hybrids. I have had good results even with some very long jump to the rifling. My friend's Browning A-bolt in 300 WSM shot the 230 hybrid quite well even with a huge jump of approx. .240". from an old posting: AZShooter Gold Member Re: 230 gr berger in 300 win mag -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd say yes. I have deeply seated the 230 berger hybrid target in a 300 RUM and 300 WSM with excellent results regardless of bullet jump. The WSM was so deeply seated that the ogive almost was past the end of case neck. See pic. As long as it can fit and feed from magazine you are fine.
