mag fed 6.5saum question

[Smokerroller]

I am going to set up a 6.5saum. I will be mag feeding 153.5 Bergers from XLR mags which are 2.950 ID. Do you think I'll run into a case capacity or load compression problem to get maximum velocity?

This rifle will be set up ultra light in a XLR magnesium 4.0 chassis, carbon proof barrel, 3-18 Mk5HD. It will replace my current 300WSM and I'll use this for hunting and one or two NRL hunter comps and the Nightforce ELR (hunter/light weight classes).

Mine is throated for 153.5 bergers and it's
3.04 OAL. FWIW.

I mag feed my 6.5 SAUM but only use 139 scenars and 140 Bergers at 2.90-2.92.

I’ve got a load for a 6.5 SAUM in a SA with the 156 EOL, RL 26, under 2.95 that shoots 1/4 MOA.
