I have an opportunity to pick up a short action Ruger 77 action with a .473 bolt face. It was originally chambered in 22/250, since I am overloaded with 22/250s I would be looking at building something else on it and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the maximum overall cartridge length that the short action magazine will allow.
Thanks in advance.

I just checked the mag.box on my Ruger MKll 260 Rem. and it measured right at 2.900".

NWPA,
Thanks for the info, especially since that is one of the cartridges I am considering barreling it to.
