    Be mindful of twist rate, the rem mag will be 9 1/2 twist which could be not quite enough for some of the long projectiles in the 170gr range (175 ELDX for example) & the mag length is a problem with the browning, some of the heavier projectiles you will have to seat very deep in the case to fit the mag & that will take up powder capacity. If you cant find 2217, 2225 will also work well.
