[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1114040, member: 10755"] Before delving into modifying your rifle, what distance are you from the lands with your currect COAL that fits your magazine? I have a 338 Edge, with most bullets, they do not fit in the magazine of my 700, even with an extended mag box. My shortest COAL with a non VLD bullet so that the base does not protrude below the neck/shoulder junction is 3.860", this is with my steel gong bullet, a 225gr Accubond. VLD'S have to be seated much longer than this. In my opinion, with a factory rifle, you're better off finding the sweet spot within a COAL that fits the magazine, rather than trying to alter things to get to the lands, if you do want this, just load it as a single shot and shoot it.
