[QUOTE="treillw, post: 1330031, member: 92442"] For anybody else reading this in the future, I'm pretty sure that the 215 bergers will mag feed while touching the lands. [URL='http://www.bergerbullets.com/pdf/Quick-Reference-Sheets.pdf']http://www.bergerbullets.com/pdf/Qui...nce-Sheets.pdf[/URL] Based on this PDF, the base to ogive dimension for the 215 is .799". The overall bullet length is 1.598". Therefore it is .799" from the ogive to the tip of the bullet. (It's funny that the ogive is at the center of the bullet, I assume that is by design??) Cooper said that their bolt face to ogive dimension is 2.794". Add .799" onto that for the ogive to tip and you've got 3.593" for an approximate COAL while touching the lands. Cooper said that their mag box is 3.660". This gives you .067" of fluff in the mag box, so they should be fine. Any flaws in my logic? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
