Im about ready to build a 300win mag and am wondering what the COAL with 208s is so I can cut my chamber for that. I will be using AICS mags.
 
Re: 208gr AMAX and 300win

I run 3.5 in mine. They fit just fine in the AICS mag. Next time you go to Angeles let me know and I'll take my 300. I asked you about the Remington you got from Randy last Sunday.

Adam,

I can send you a dummy round with the 208 A-max in a 300WM Winchester case, if you want. I run a COAL of 3.620" in my TRG. This puts me right on the lands. (But, I also had about .030 of throat erosion at this distance from when the rifle was new). At book length, the bullet will set pretty deep in the case. But, you can cut a custom length to chamber. Shoot me a PM and let me know.

My AICS mags measure 3.65 internal
I load to 3.620, 5 off the lans.
