[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1981613, member: 87243"] As for the OAL question for the creed, I can't confidently answer that, I shoot a .260 AI, and have pretty limited experience loading a creed, that data I posted wasn't mine. I would suspect however, if your bullet isn't in the case with a OAL of 2.890", then your shooting a different bullet than what the data I posted lists. Comparisons can't be made unless your using the same components, he was using the 143 eld-x for reference. As for feeding, if your max mag length is only 2.850, then that is all you can fit. If you want to run 2.890, you have to single feed unless you modify something with your magazine set up. There are several options to get more length in your magazine. Both Wyatts and PTG make BDL mag box setups that get more length I believe, PTG has their "Bainey" box that allows up to 3.110" in a short action, they need to be installed either by a smith or someone that can confidently use a mill. If you have an AICS DBM, ARC makes a magazine that I use, I can load to about 2.960" OAL and still feed reliably, I load to 2.950 with the 156 in my .260 AI with no issues With the ARC AICS mags. There are several other companies that make binderless mags that all will get you to around that 2.950" OAL range as well, I just like the ARC mags. [/QUOTE]
