i have just bought a tikka t3 vamint 223 from a guy on here and i want to load 75 gr amax's for it but a buddy of mine has a t3 tac and he said they sit down too low into the case to run mag length. is this a bad issue and what other bullet that is just as good as a amax that i can run out of my mag?
 
Re: tikka t3 varmint loading

Pick up CDI's DBM (when available), dremel some AI polymer 223 mags and call it done... The Tikka 223 T3 mags dont allow for much room at all.

I am running 80gr SMK's but was either single feeding them with a homemade bobsled with the original mag/stock combo, but I am now running a RCS with modified AI mags.
