[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1242125, member: 5219"] While the SAMMI OAL is 2.8" I have yet to see a short action require that short of a length. I would seat to fit and feed from existing mag box and see how it shoots. As for the seating depth....before I had my old Ruger's mag box lengthened to 3.1" it would allow an OAL of 2.900". The 160s were a tad long in that package. Don't laugh I made them into protected tips leaving a tiny bit of lead exposed. Killed just fine. I am certain either 168 berger hunting bullet would work for you with well placed shots if close, but if you have any reservations shoot a partition. I KNOW those will work well at closer distances.
