[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1881181, member: 87243"] Pretty much the only benefit is it is easy to run as a repeater. I have a 9lb 3 oz .338 Norma (not the improved version) and in a 24" barrel, send the 300's around 2700 fps, 265 ablr's around 2900, and the 270 badland bulldozer around 2840 fps. Another benefit however is that primer pockets with lapua and peterson brass last forever with the larger case head, more material around the same sized primer as an edge, so they are super tough. Not really a huge consideration, ADG brass is super tough as well. Anyway, I run mine with a Wyatts 3.850" mag as a BDL, feeds great. 2+1, plenty for my use. The NMI with a 26" tube would be right there with an edge in performance, but can easily run as a repeater. My OAL is 3.680" with the 300 Berger at .020" off, so that would even run in a standard rem 700 mag box length. The 270 Badland Mono's are 3.830" or so at .025" off, they dictate a little longer mag box, but not a big deal.
