I'm having an 8 twist SAMMI .223 put together on a Remington BDL action and have been reading up on what is needed to do to be able to shoot longer, heavier bullets such as the 75 grain Hornady -Amax/ELD-M. From what I understand, I have two choices:
1) Modify the mag box spacer so it will accept cartridges up to ~2.60, or
2) Go to a detachable magazine bottom metal - e.g, something like the PT&G that accepts the AI mags.
Thoughts? What about the follower if I go the mag box modify route?
How many have and would recommend the DBM, which ones, and why?
Many thanks in advance.
