[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 458929, member: 6705"] The Alpha mags have 2.985" inside dimension available. I like to have about .010" clearance inside the mag. I also don't like to jam the bullets more than .010-.015" So you could just send them a dummy round set at 2.960". That would let you be comfortable in the magazine, jam the bullets, and/or chase the throat a little. The Berger VLD's both have the same shape in front of the ogive. So it doesn't matter which you send for a dummy round. The 180g will just have more bullet in the case when seated at the lands. I don't know if Wildcat uses the same shape so I don't know if you will be able to reach the lands and still use the mag. It's much easier to do any barrel work with the barrel off. [/QUOTE]
