Depends on the magazine. Example: no problem with 88’s out of my standard 223 chambered Montana (Shaen massaged the mag box to feed 88’s loaded to shoulder/boat tail junction and threaded a 1:7” twist Rock barrel). He asked if it was possible and my answer is accurate.
Just FYI to anyone reading this thread, many guys shoot the 105 HPBT in their factory Rem 700 243 (1:9.25" ROT) barrels with success.
That's my projectile of choice out of my factory barreled 700 and it works on whitetails and I'd be what I'd use on elk, too. Form has never led me astray and...
Valerie and nosler would both be mistakes.

Being poor doesn’t mean you have to be stupid.
Bullets are more important than headstamps and it’s not close.
Whitetails in Michigan >400 yards?

The easy button. Shoots the good projectiles well. You can spend a lot more and get a lot less.
Selling a barely used Geissele Super Precision Scope Mount. This is a 30mm, 0 moa SOPMOD model in their DDC. Optimized for the Vortex 1-6, it works great with many low power variables; I had the SWFA 1-6HD on it - worked perfectly with the eye relief and mounted forward on the upper's pic slots...
Selling a complete upper. Purchased these parts a few years back and sent all to ADCO for assembly. Fired less than 100 rounds and has sat in the safe since. Grouped remarkably well for with factory 75 grain Hornady hpbt. Too many in the stable and this is a nice one that needs some use. Scope...
In my experience, carrying a few more ounces in optic is actually lighter than a “light scope” with the weight of the doubt about the latter maintaining zero that comes with it.
Swfa’s work, both in practice and on the internet, believe it or not. 1-6HD, 3-9HD, and 6x for me.
