[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2861526, member: 11853"] I ran into that issue with my Sako A7 in the 300 Win Mag.The rifle is built on a medium action instead of a long action.I had to seat the bullets so deep into the case in order for it to function in the magazine,that there wasn't enough neck tension to hold the bullet in place.It was nearly .250 jump to the lands.It shot like crap.I tried one of my loads I use in my other 300 Win Mags in single shot fashion and it shot quite well.Not much I could see to do as far as extending the mag length because the action is just too short.Why the 300 Win Mag is spec. on 3.340 OAL is beyond me.Every 300 Win Mag I have usually has an OAL around 3.500-3.550. to the lands.I think it was a mistake made many years ago and many rifles are built with short mag boxes because of it.
