    The 75 ELDM & 80's and old Amax are quite different shaped bullets and really need to either single feed or use likes of Aussie waterman extended mag in Tikka.
    I have tried standard mag length but getting better results seating further out.

    A good bloke on the forum gave me his measurements but Im a bit scared to go out any further incase I get one jamed in the spout.
    When hunting think safety first
