Bergara magazines and COAL

[goathunter]

How are the bergara hunter and ridge magazines for seating longer with handloads? I struggle to get near my lands with my Sako short action. I'm looking at a long action bergara.

I have a ridge in 7mm RM, loading 180 Bergers at 3.475 COAL and fitting with a little room to spare. I think I measured it at right around 3.50, but don't remember for sure. I don't know if the standard bolt face actions are the same, but In my magnum I had plenty of mag length.

Mine too. I don’t have the max measurement on hand but I load my wilderness hunter 300 WM at 3.66 COAL
