7mm SAUM- Short action - Accurate magazines feeding issues?

[thefitter]

Anybody having any feeding issues with their Accurate mags when loading bullets to max length? I see on the website that they list a interior dimension of 3.050 on their WM Short box magazines.

I would want to use all of that if necessary.

Thanks

None here. Mine feed great. 7SAUM has some nice 30* shoulders that make it easy to quickly and reliably feed. One thing I did have to do however was mill out a small bit of the action's body near the feed ramps. 180gr Berger loaded to 2.950" was a tad to long. Easy to do however and it has no impact on the action.

This is exactly the type of info I need. As I said I need to use all of the mag length in order to keep the bearing surface of that Berger Hybrid bullet out of the shoulder of the case. More and more I think the long action would be a better fit for me. Thanks!

7mm anything, given the length of the projectiles involved, is better in long actions. It works in short action, and the 180gr Berger Hybrid at any speed is a beast, but you will have less headaches with the long action. Good luck w/ your build!
