.223 Ackley seating depth and mag length?

[fw707]

What are some typical OAL's with longer bullets such as 69 SMK's, and Hornady 75 A-Max and BTHP bullets?
The mag length in my 700 measures around 2.355" or so. Will that work for those bullets?

No .223 AI shooters here I guess.

Oh well, thanks anyway.

I looked at some of my data, I am running the 75gr Amax at 2.510". This is the beauty of running AI mags over a the standard Rem internal mag.

Thanks.

I guess I might as well go ahead and work on the spacer in the factory mag box.

Mine are at 2.440". You will want to mod your mag box with a slim spacer. Or set up for AI mags.

How would you set up for AI mags in an HS stock?

With a CDI bottom metal or Badger M5 or Hoopers or R&D's or Seekins or Surgeons.
