Can any of you 6.5 handloaders post some ogive length (tip to bearing surface) numbers for the 123gr A-max vs some of the various 140-142 gr match bullets? Or the max COL for each in your rifle would work too.
Reason I'm asking - I just picked up a 6.5 Creedmoor that needs the 123 A-max seated out to maximum mag length, or a little more, (2.855") to touch the lands. I don't have any of the heavy 6.5 bullets on hand to try out, but I'm concerned I won't be able to seat them to the lands and still fit the magazine.
Kinda disappointed, since the whole point of the 6.5 Creedmoor, vs the 260, is reaching the lands with mag length heavy match bullets.
