[QUOTE="Elknut, post: 2600326, member: 119289"] Hello, Just started reloading for my M21 6.5 PRC. It has a Shilen Barrel and Mack EVO action. It seems I can seat to the lands and cycle from the mag. SAMMI COAL is 2.955". Longest I can cycle from the Mag is about 2.975"+/-. Problem is this puts 156 gr EOL Bergers .060" off the lands and 153gr A-Tips .100" off the lands. I typically like .015" to .050" In order to get to the lands the COAL is a little over 3.0". These fit in the Mag but won't cycle smoothly. Is this due to a long Freebore or something else? If I spend the money to put an extended Mag in will it resolve this or will the action be a limiting factor? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you, [/QUOTE]
