[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 848027, member: 41338"] I'm not sure about the WSM magazine length but if the Sako A-7 and the Tikka T3 magazine dimensions are the same, the max OAL for the 300 Win is right at 3.325" which is about .015" less than most manual recommended COL. The 178 A-max fits O.K. but you'll never get long bullets into that magazine unless the bottom metal is modified. I'm thinking 185 grain bullets might be all you can get into that magazine. CDI ([URL="http://www.cdiprecisiongunworks.com"]CDiPrecision Gunworks[/URL]) offers a solution to this issue if you want to shoot long bullets. I believe the twist on the Tikka 300 is 11:1 so you don't want to go with real long bullets anyway. [/QUOTE]
