[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 529957, member: 505"] Bigngreen, that is exactly it. The CE bullets are extremely long, sleek, beautiful bullets. They also recomend loading them shallow and with standard chambers and throats that is the case. There is a band on the bullet you load them to. With wby freebore rifles they want to be seated deep though. I have shot the SIN with Barnes and the 225 nab's. They seat normal and will easily feed through the Tikka action. The case is about the same as a 338 winchester so you can see normal bullets do fine in it. But with the success I am having so far with the CE bullets I am making a single shot long range rifle out of it and have some 225 nab's loaded that feed well in the magazine. That way if I need some quick close range shots I will have them. Grizz happens in Alaska and here in WY. The magazine walls in the Tikka have got to be sanded slightly at the base of the cartridge for the SIN to feed properly. I am talking a few seconds with a fine grit paper. It will feed as is but way better with just a slight amount of plastic removed from the Tikka magazine. [/QUOTE]
