    223 mag box length

    Hi, didnt want to hi jack the other thread,

    reading the "223 on deer thread" got me thinking, I am after a light 223 for rabbits and targets, thinking either a x-bolt super light carbon or a reminton model 7 with hs precision stock shorten to 16-17 inches. I want to run the longer heavier bullets every one is mentioning and I noticed gimp is running a special mag box.

    Is the Remington mag box to short to load heavy long bullets ? Any one able measure the x-bolt mag box for me? I believe the standard model 7 box is 60mm.

    What sort of over all load length are you ending up with with the 77 and 80 grainers

    Thanks
