Correct C.O.A.L won't fit in the mag..

[Thegreg]

Greg,
Is it not simply the case that the TMK projectiles are longer/slimmer at the "sharp end" than, say, the equivalent weight SMK and others?
I was put off using them in my .308 as the OAL increased to the extent that they wouldn't fit the mag if powder space was to be preserved. Presumably the same would apply to your .308 too. Is it a Remington by any chance? In other words, if you seat the TMKs to mag length you risk losing case volume and having a compressed load.

That's what I'm hoping. They are a long slender profile and I noticed in the .223 they had a longer C.O.A.L than the equivalent 55gr Hornady AMAX head.

I'm going to try Lapua Scenar's for starters, which I've heard good things about.

The rifle is a Krico 640S, not at all common so very unlikely I'd get feedback from anyone else who owns one on here!

Cheers
Greg
