[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 902616, member: 5219"] MikeCR, Donut on a factory unmodified 243 case? Seems unlikely to me. --------------------- As for fitting and feeding from magazine. Either seat deeply or get a wyatts mag box. You won't loose that much velocity with them deep seated. I'd give it a try. If you do get the Wyatt's extended magazine you can still shoot factory ammo safely. Don't know if you will have any feeding issues from the longer magazine. Not sure if you realize the bolt stop will have to be altered so the bolt can be retracted further rearward. Also some metal will have to be removed from the front portion of the receiver's mag box recess to accommodate this longer mag box. Check out Wyatt's website to see the details: [url=http://wyattsoutdoor.com/installation.php]WYATT'S OUTDOOR, INC.[/url] The issue with the VLDs is whether or not they will shoot accurately with a jump to the lands.
