[QUOTE="extreme31, post: 566531, member: 20182"] Correction to my post as i was going off my aging memory for my exact OAL since I'm away from home at work but I had my room mate get into my data book so I could clarify. Bad extreme! The max OAL I was comfortable stuffing in the magazine was 3.7 which is what I started with but they hit the rifling so I shortened them to 3.640. I also purchased a 10 round box of factory Lapua 250 grain sceaners that measured 3.605 which I did not fire. I am simply measuring from the base to the tip with my caliper as I haven't purchased a true measuring device yet. Hopefully I didn't steer you all astray too much....... Thank you much for the info on the canted base as i was just about ready to hit the buy it now button on a nightforce rail which I imagine would just have the #6 screw holes so then I would have had something else to complain about....:) I found a link on this website for Murphy Precision which has the option of ordering the #8 screw holes & looks like a pretty nice base. I see Farrell even offers a 30 moa option which I may need but I hate to jack up the rear of my scope that high, hmmn, decisions decisions........Maybe I need to work up some loads for the 300 OTM's first to see just how much elevation I need for my usual 2500 foot altitude. Anybody have a good starting point for the 300's???? Surely I won't get as lucky as I did on my first LM handloads as that has never happened before. Usually I spend days or even weeks to get a good shooting load! [/QUOTE]
