[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2714005, member: 36999"] The reason for the long COAL is due to the bullet being designed for the 300 PRC which has a 3.55 COAL. This allows it to take advantage of the extra mag space since the 180 CX can’t be loaded long due to its shape impacting the lands at much over a 3.34 COAL. I just ran into this issue with a buddy, he is running AICS mags so after finding out the 180’s were limited by the chamber rather than the mag I told him to pick up the 190’s as the extra case capacity could probably get them to the same speed but with significantly greater down range performance due to the much higher BC. Didn’t get a chance to load for him this week so we probably won’t get to test them until February. [/QUOTE]
