Tikka 300 wsm in LA AICS mags??

[luke moffat]

Looking to put a Tikka 300 wsm in a chassis again and currently run a COAL that won’t work in short action AICS mags. While I likely can stuff the bullet in to fit and it’ll still shoot well ideally would like to keep my long bolt stop and run long action AICS mags so I can seat out as far as I want without issue. Can anyone confirm that WSM rounds will cycle in a Tikka in a chassis in a long action mag?

It will run, you will just need to do a little extra tuning to the magazines for 100% reliability. Every mag is a little different so the tuning required will change from mag to mag. I have also seen guys build little spacer kits so the rounds have less room to move around.

The saum runs flawlessly in my long action mdt mag in my tikka in the xlr mg.
