[QUOTE="quandary, post: 3061943, member: 124624"] For example my Tikka actioned 300WM has a bottom metal and magazine with an ability to just barely squeeze in a load of 3.4" I would like to load some of the bigger Hammer bullets. Using the Hammer load data the suggested COAL for the heavier, longer bullets exceeds 3.4". Consequently if I wanted to use this rifle for the longer heavier bullets I would have to change the bottom metal and go with longer AICS mags with some further tweaking to feed ramps etc. I could then fit the longer loads and in theory they would feed smoothly. The chamber in my Proof barrel on this rifle would not be the limiting factor, the bottom metal and magazine would be. That's my point. When you have a factory rifle you can't just assume that you can load what you want. You need to consider all the dimensions of your rifle and what modifications you may or may not be able to make and how smoothly rounds will feed after you make those modifications. My rifle with the Tikka action for example. I don't see how any of this controversial. [/QUOTE]
