In another post, I was told that the AICS magazine length is 2.875", which would also be the max cartridge length obviously.. The length to the lands in my new .308 R700 is 2.372 (ogive measured), or 2.957" to bullet tip. Skipping all the math and ogive to tip conversions, this means that my MAX length cartridge (fitted to magazine) would have a HUGE jump to the lands of 0.102" . ONE TENTH of an inch! When we are talking 0.005 to 0.010 jumps making significant differences in accuracy, what in the heck is 10x's that going to do?
Has anyone else noticed this with their R700's? Or is mine just out of spec or something?
For reference, its an R700 ADL .308WIN, 26" varmint barrel
