OAL of loaded round is 71.82mm from base of case to tip. 64gns 4000-MR powder and Federal Large Rifle Match primers, Hornady Brass
Rifle is a Kimber Montana barrel cut to 20 inch with Vx3i 2.5-8x B&C Reticle, all very simple

My current 270wsm load are 73.70mm base to tip so easily enough room, I am using Norma brass and likely will be either Norma or Federal brass when the 300wsm time comes, already have fed mag primers (just standard not match) and likely will be using 2209 powder as it's probably going to be easiest to source.....
