[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 244810, member: 2852"] On a hunting rifle where you intend to use the magazine, you are limited to how long it will let you seat them out. On 99% of factory rifles, they are throated so long and the magazines are so short that you won't have a prayer for touching them into the riflings. But no matter. Tune them to your depth whatever it might be. The last 5 or 6 guns I loaded them up for shot them well and they were probably jumping .100" or more. I have always found that there are two sweet spots in a rifles tune in regards to seating depth (and powder/pressure too) and you simply have to find the deep node in this case. I suspect that you can easily attain accuracy good enough to kill a coyote to half mile or better with these bullets once you find what they and your gun want. Yes, your twist should be ok supposing Remington got it close to spec of twist. Yes, mine are bolt guns. Are there any other?! And I always leave about .020 to .030" of room from the tip to the end of the mag well just to insure they don't ever touch under recoil. [/QUOTE]
