[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2334334, member: 5219"] Regarding magazine length. Always drove me nuts that the SAMMI spec reamer distance to lands was not compatible to the magazine length on production rifles. There is no reason to use a rifle as a single shot when it could be a repeater unless there are special circumstances. There are ways to deal with it. Longer mag box like a Wyatt's can help or have a gunsmith lengthen the existing magazine. I had two SA Rugers mag boxes lengthened. They are now 3.1." The concept of proper magazine length was used with the Ultra Light Arms model 28 rifle where I got the idea. Another other way is when you rebarrel the rifle, purchase a reamer with the distance to the lands that you need to have the bullet engaging the lands to fit and feed from mag box if that is what you want. Third way is use a bullet that is seating depth friendly. One such bullet is the Berger Hybrid. I have had great success with these bullets in a variety of calibers. Jumps to lands as long as .156" shot well. [/QUOTE]
