It so happens that I have a decent quantity of match 300 Win Mag, loaded with Sierra 190 Grain Match Kings, BUT, they are too long to feed from the rifles internal magazine well. Too tell the truth, the fact that I had this ammo was part of the reason I bought the rifle in that caliber. And the rifle is a very good shooter as well! Does anyone know of a way to lengthen the internal magazine to accommodate these rounds? Seating them deeper is NOT an option.
