I have a 85 finnlight, standard 260. I haven't had it very long, only had 1 range session.
I have only measured one projectile where mag length stops me kissing the lands, I think it was the Nosler 142gr LRAB (can confirm later), but can't confirm others that fit the mag actually feed okay. ELD-X 143gr 30 thou off the lands are definitely okay, as are 120 ballistic tip and 129sst at 10 thou jump.
