Rem. Mod. 7
Sir;
I run into this problem even with some "standard" cartridges. The only way, for varmit hunting which I used to do was to shoot single shot.
I don't like the " short magnums" anyway. Sometimes, when having a bullet seating problem I use a throating reamer to open up the throating a little. But this doesn't solve the magazine box problem.
With the 7 I don't know if there is a different box or not.
As to throats, different reamers with pilots will be slightly different; A-Square has a paralel throat which solves the problem nicely.
When in practice, I rebarreled a 308 to 260 Rem. and it wortked out nicely, but that magazine box is a problem.
I predict that amoung knowledgeable shooters the "short magnum" craze will die out; those cartridges exhibit a very fast pressure curve I don't like.
