[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 1866076, member: 110228"] What a excellent observation.. Here is how I overcame this problem hopefully I will not be to long winded: Book COL for the 150 and 175 ELD-x is 2.800 which I would agree would compress loads but for me to get .010 off lands I had to have a COL of 2.938. My max magazine length was 2.850. I remedied this by cutting out the magazine block and JB welding just the tab to the back of the block. This added .120 to my magazine. (you do have to grind back your bolt stop so your bolt can get behind the case and possibly tinker with your magazine lips for feeding purposes). So here is my math 2.948 (150 eld-x touches lands) minus .010 jump equals 2.938 COL. I was trying to solve a jump to lands problem but got the added benefit of getting that bullet up out of the case body resulting in more room for powder. I need to attach a disclaimer that I don't think everybody should try this. [/QUOTE]
