[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 633005, member: 23486"] Two Very Big Issues: 1) The AI mags were designed for the 338 Lapua, the shoulder on the RUM sits farther forward than the LM. You have to machine the AI mags to run a RUM cartridge or they will not go into the mag. If you look at the attached Pic, you can see the required work to the Magazine which is essentially removing the "dimple" from the mag, creating a window. 2) These mags are SHORT! OAL is quite limited, not enough to render it useless but close. Had I known then, what I know now, I would have run single shot. McRee does offer a variant now that offers ~.125 extra, but IIRC the stock would have to modified to feed correctly. EDIT: If you look at the mag in my first pic, you can see it a little better.
