[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1449701, member: 21446"] COAL I'm running now is 3.015" with h-1000. You will have to be around 2.965" to fit in the mag. This is in a accurate mag with the front plate removed. If you use this mag just order it with the plate already removed so you don't have to drill out the spot welds your self. They are hard to fill and if you don't fill them the tips of your bullets will try to catch in them. I have a load with n570 that I was running mag fed but I don't want to use up all my supply of that powder. The H-1000 load has a little longer coal but I'm just fine single feeding in hunting situations as my rifle was built as a light hunting gun anyway. I wanted it set up as a repeater though to see how it would work and it has performed well mag feeding although I rarely Mag feed it now hunting. If your using a Rem 700 you may need to have your smith cut a notch in the feed ramp. As rounds rise out of the magazine the tips may catch the bottom of the feed ramp so it might need a slight notch in the center for them to clear. [/QUOTE]
