[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 491111, member: 505"] I do not have extended magazines on mine because they shoot very well seated back off the lands and feed well that way. I shoot the 162 Amax quite a bit and can shoot it very accurate seated at max length for my magazine. Mine are on the longest Sako actions and wby mk 5's capable of feeding well even with the RUM's so I have long magazines already. I don't have my oal handy with the 162. I also shoot the 160 accubond and it is a better choice for anything beyond deer. The amax is fragile. It just depends on your action and how close to the lands it needs to be in your rifle. I think there is a good chance you could do it. The Dakota is a great choice because of the velocity it gets while being short enough to seat bullets way out there and still feed well in any magnum action. It wasn't around when I built my STW's however I still probably would have gone the STW route because of cheap, easily obtained brass from several manufaturers. And the fact with my long magnum actions the length doesn't affect me as much. [/QUOTE]
