[QUOTE="Scrubbit, post: 894092, member: 71886"] If you look at the bullet dimensions, the nose length on the 190VLD/210VLD/215Hyb are .730/.729/.905 (From Berger reloading manual). Given that the nose shape and length are almost identical on the two VLDs (basically the same bullet with a longer bearing surface...boat tail is identical length) you could easily get away with the 210s and still mag feed. You only lose approx .09" capacity in your case. If you were to load the 215s for the mag, you'd prob lose .2" and due to the longer slimmer nose, would be way out from the lands. I've have a 10 twist barrel and have given up having them mag fed as I shoot the 215s and will be shooting 230s as well shortly. Seems kind of a waste in hindsight buying my bottom metal and mags... Oh well, live and learn I guess. [/QUOTE]
