Figured the reloading page was the best spot since I will be reloading this round. If I am using one of the 210-230 gr bullets, is it worth getting the CIP magwell for 3.850" mags or will the standard 3.715" magwells for 300 WM suffice? since I am still in the early stages of the build, I want to make sure I am covered if I need to seat the bullets longer than expected.
 
sorry guys. been out for a bit.

it is a Remington 700 long action. I would assume the magwell on the action itself would more than likely have to be modified, right?
 
I could measure my Rem 700 long action to see were the limit is if you like but would assume it will be on the short end of the spectrum considering my short action is pretty short as well.
The Kelbly Atlas Tactical I have (short action) seems to be optimized for even the longest COAL mags I have available which are Alpha using the Grayboe Renegade and MPA M5 bottom metal with the feed ramp being basically flush with the mag port.
Seems pretty well thought out for its intended purpose and would think the long action would be as well.
