For shooters who have a Tikka CTR, what is the max magazine length inside a 6.5 Creedmoor magazine? I'm planning to seat some bullets out long for a 6.5 CM with the 153.5 Berger, and curious how much room there is to seat them out long (or longer than 2.800") in the CTR mag. Thanks in advance!

My 140 ELD-M is loaded to 2.92 and barely fits. I just stuck calipers on my mag and it shows 2.945-ish

2.911” fits and cycles without issue.

Thank you!!! We should be good. I'm loading some 153.5 grain Berger in a 6.5 CM out long for added case capacity and more Ricky Bobby!

Chad...there is no Rickey Bobby with a 6.5 Gaymoor unless you get down to 120's. That's an oxymoron rofl
