[QUOTE="anginaprinzmetal, post: 1323803, member: 84743"] I have just had a 338LM rifle built (Defiance Deviant Tactical action, 28” MTU 1/9.3 Bartlein barrel, Triggetech trigger, XLR Chassis). As a disclosure I am new to all things 338LM, but not to shooting. I have some questions regarding OAL and wanted to make sure I won’t get in trouble. My rifle COAL is 3.810”, the magazine system has an inner length of 3.750” but usable probably 3.730”. I bought a box of commercial ammo and the length of the rounds is 3.620” !!! Which seems like an excesive jump. Having said that I have no idea and this might be perfectly ok in this caliber. The question is if I load to magazine length, say 3.730” (jump ~0.080”) would that affect accuracy greatly? Finally, what about those commercial rounds (Hornady with ELD-M 285 gr) and that gigantic jump ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. [/QUOTE]
