Gunsmithing Longer OAL in a short action magazine box.

[cinosbus]

Do any of the aftermarket detachable magazine conversions for a Rem700 short action allow for a longer cartridge OAL than a stock internal box?

I'm looking to try and load cartridges near 3" OAL and get them to feed from the magazine. It doesn't look like there's enough room from the bolt face to the feed ramp with the bolt fully withdrawn, but I thought I read something about it in another post somewhere - so I'm asking.

Bump? I didn't think it was that dumb of a question.

Jason, did you forget about the Seekins WSM DBM and magazine? 3.160" internal mag length!

Thanks for the help. The seekins setup looks very nice, but the mag sits low for only holding 5rd. I guess this setup will actually feed with 2.94" OAL too?

Who else makes a detachable setup that would allow for a longer OAL? I've been searching, but google wants to bring back articles aboutg stock M700 DM rifles and not what I'm actually looking for.
