I can get my hands on a PTG "match" 260 rem floating pilot reamer. Will I be able to load 140/142 SMK's to the lands and still fit them in the Rem s/a mag box?

Thats the reamer I used IIRC and load the 142 SMK's to 2.835 OAL. They touch lands at around 2.855.

What's the free bore length. That will dictate whether or not you can reach the lands and mag feed.
