[QUOTE="Broz, post: 994341, member: 7503"] The load for the rifle in that thread has an over all length from case head to bullet tip of 3.630" and they will feed from a standard magnum 700 Rem BDL mag box. My rifle is chambered with a "Tactical Match" reamer and throated a bit longer than some with VLD's or Hybrid Ogive Bullets in mind. My load is -.040" off the lands. But this would not stop me from trying them seated for your mag box at 3.500" I have seen plenty of rifles shoot Hybrids or VLD's well over -.100" off the lands. In fact I worked up a load this week for a rifle with 180 Berger Hybrids and it was -.180" off the lands and shot a few groups in the .3's at 100. What you need to do is measure your chamber to the Ogive to see how the rifle is throated. Then you will know how far off the lands you will be to use that short DMB. Funny, all this said and my rifle will feed from the box but we never use it. I load one and lay a couple more along side the rifle while prone. Thus the reason my new rifle is a single feed. It only takes a second longer to toss one in and close the bolt. We try to never be in a hurry for a long range shot and if you don't have that extra second or two in the rare event a follow up shot is needed you are in trouble anyway. Rushed long range shots just don't work out too good. I don't remember loading more than one at a time for any of those 20 animals in the thread. Jeff [/QUOTE]
