[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1066053, member: 83233"] FYI, the tikka T3 in WSM has some solid potential since its a long action receiver. Folks have reported a long action mag will work with the WSM cartridges (may have to file the feed lips a tiny bit) and you'll need to file back the bolt stop to the long action catch point or replace it with a long action one. But when all said and done you have more COAL than you'd ever need available if you need it to accommodate a desired bullet/seating position. Even if interested in that mod I wouldn't run out and do it till you've worked up a load that requires it. I kept it in mind with my T3 in 7-08 but the gun actually shot better with a longer jump (which still fit the magazine) vs when seated out closer to the lands. I just did all the loading single shot and was prepared to tweak the gun if there was a solid performance difference in a longer COAL. [/QUOTE]
