Need some info 6.5x47L

[shoot4fun]

This has me concerned. I'm having a 6.5 x 47 built using an HS precision dbm. My barrel has been chambered with the PTG reamer with the .167 freebore. I know the max oal for a loaded cartridge in the HS mag is 2.838. I'm wondering if I'll be able to seat out to the lands if necessary and still fit in the confines of the magazine. I have Lapua Scenars in 123 and 139 grain, Berger 130 tact. hybrids and 140 vld's.

Well, it isn't actually a law that your bullets have to be seated to the lands.
The Hybrids actually like about some jump. Planning on 130 AR Hybrids in mine.

my notes say that the 123 Scenar with .167 FB seated .010 jammed the COAL is 2.730,,,the 130 VLD is at 2.845 .015 jammed,,both bullets are seated with the bearing surface above the neck shoulder junction,,

with the .167 FB I have been able to load .010 jammed and fit AI 308 mags with ever bullet made ,,

I really like the 130 VLD and 42.2 H4350 with CCI450 primers,,
