[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 774933, member: 12995"] My Sendero STW will shoot 1 ragged hole groups at 100 yards with factory loaded ammo (Federal Premium 160gr Accubonds), and they will fit in the magazine. When I shoot at the range, I shoot all mine as single-shot rifles, loading only 1 round in at a time. And if you are wanting to push the Berger 180 VLD's out anywhere near your lands you will have to shoot them as a single-shot style. My Sendero 7STW with 180gr Berger VLD Hunting Match bullets a couple thousandths off the lands, is still in the 3.858" range, which will definitely not fit in the magazine. I have not experimented with how far down you could pack them in there to make them fit in your magazine well. When I get a chance (probably this evening), I will measure the OAL of my 700 mag well. I'm sure other people can give better advice on the 180 Bergers, since I haven't had a chance to test-fire mine yet... [/QUOTE]
