Do you ever find that the magazine is too short for some loads?

I saw a video ( /watch?v=Tgm8YRUJx00 ) of another lite, like yours except stainless, which had a magazine which barely looked to fit 50 gr projectiles, possibly some deep seeted 55 gr, but certainly nothing over that.

Thats what puts me off these things, especially considering that the more accurate loads usually use bullets seated farther out.

@ANutful Yes my 50Gr noslers only just fit in the mag, there is a vid somewhere of how to lengthen the mag quite a bit and its really quite easy. I haven't had to do it yet because I don't run anything over 50Gr (1:12 twist barrel) but I can see how some people run into trouble.

hey im 16 about 5'10, 230lbs i have never shot a firearm b4. i am looking to buy a new rifle for deer and turkey hunting.after my research i have came upon the tc venture 270 which i love but now i am looking for info on the rem700 and tikka because they are in my price range of under 500. i am determined to get a 270 because i want to grow into it and have alot of power but i am a lil worried about kick. i was wondering which of the 3 rifles was the best for the money and about kick.

[bambisniper]

@TheAirsoftbeast22 Thanks for the comment.

Kick is kick man u will be fine, at 230lbs a .270 isn't likely to worry you at all.

Honestly u are looking at 2 of the better rifle for money units in the Rem or Tikka, I personally like the Tikka but the choice is yours.

P.S. I shot a .325" 3 shot group with it the other day. Fairly bloody happy with that.

Take care and happy shooting :)

@bambisniper sounds pretty sweet mate :) aw yeah i got a tikka last week its awsome

[bambisniper]

@emmerson369 its based on a ruger action with some modified ejectorless bolt and all sorts of freakin mods. best description is 6mm PPC haha

[emmerson369]

@bambisniper what is your friends 6mm?

[bambisniper]

Bipod is a Harris 1A2 Spring Eject with leg notches. Yup I reload, its fun, saves a few dollars and I get slightly better accuracy than factory rounds. Check my other .223 vid for info in comments section ;).

[AnthnRad]

It is good shooting, made easy with such a great rifle! I love my T3-lite, the only addition I want to make is the same bi-pod you have.

Do you re-load?
