[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1027635, member: 1742"] Both the OTM and the EH use the 'hybrid' ogive. So, it may be that the Bergers would shoot fine at mag length for you. That may not be the optimal load recipe for your rifle, but that the issue many have that have a mag that won't let the bullet be seated close or at the lands. That's one reason I have the 4" Wyatt's box in each of my .338s. But again, my experience with long range and second shots on game now tell me that I"ll be single loading due to meplat damage from recoil in the mag, even though I can reach the lands and still have the round work in the 4" Wyatts box. You'll just have to see what works for you. I'm sure you'll get it all figured out to your satisfaction one way or the other. Merry Christmas! [/QUOTE]
