[QUOTE="Elknut, post: 2600359, member: 119289"] Med- Interesting possibility. I'll try that. Agree on seating depth and accuracy. It can become a religion to some. Jam, vs to lands, vs 0.015" off, vs. jump, and on and on. Seen heated arguments at the range which always makes me laugh a bit. History on the Mag box is Nosler messed up on the design for the 6.5 PRC. I think they slapped a 270 WSM mag in as it was close and called it a day. Could not even jam 3 rounds in and forget cycling. 2nd round flew out of the mag when cycled. Big error on their part. Box was thick plastic and not enough heel pressure from the spring. . Many had to send them back for a new mag and spring. Now the box is metal and the spring is stronger. Tried to get them to put a Wyatt box in with windows but that was a non starter. To much re-work I guess. Good news I picked up a new one for $1,600 delivered vs $2,300 likely because of this. It was a hassle for sure but worth the 2 month wait, I think! Frustrating for sure. Thanks again for all the help, [/QUOTE]
