[QUOTE="frequent misser, post: 622294, member: 5295"] My rifle is throated for the long vld's and built on a short action remington. I run them but I run mine as a single shot. If my coal was any longer I would have to pull the bolt to get a loaded round out. If you want to load them in the magazine then you may not be able to get enough powder in the case to get them running. I have never tried to seat the 208's to mag length so I can't say that is fact but my case is pretty much full with the bullet seated out. Guys that say that they are to long are probably running them in short action magazines. If you are willing to run them single feed a seating depth gage is a great tool to have to determine your coal to the lands of your rifle. Mine is a sinclair but several companys make one. This will help you determine how much room you have to work with. I have loaded a maxs in a bunch of rifles and all of them had a sweet spot between 5 and 20 thousandths off the lands.
