Awesome... Exactly what I needed to know... I plan to use the 230 Hybrids... By any chance you wouldn't happen to know the projectile length on those would you?
 
Re: Remington 700 5R in 300wm

There are two .30 cal 230 gr. Hybrids:

Match Hybrid Target #30428 .380 G7, OAL = 1.656"

Match Hybrid OTM Tactical # 30110 .364 G7, OAL = 1.604"

The nose on the Target is VERY long and will probably not mag feed near the lands, the Tactical is dicey.

Plugging those numbers for the Target in to QL and using a shank seating depth of .308 yields an COAL of 3.726". My Accurate mags will allow an OAL of 3.775". Hopefully I will be able to work something out with this projectile.
