[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 368895, member: 16954"] I wouldn't say most rifles Dusty. But the mag length has been known to be the limiting factor with some rifle/cartridge combos. I can't get my Rem .270, '06AI or my 6.5 Mauser pills out too far to fit the mag before they hit the lands. Heck, the 135 SMK .270 pill won't reach the lands at all (before it's no longer in the case) and still fits in my 700ADL magwell. The Mauser was custom built (throated) so the 140gr 6.5 pills are seated out as far as needed (no case protrusion) and they still fit the mag, and that's a long bullet! It is just something that one should consider before choosing the action for a new build. [/QUOTE]
