I purchased a box of these to try in my my 300 wsm today. The thought of these at 29-2950FPS is awesome in theory - if they shoot.

But man are these bullets long and on top of that I am shooting a tikka that requires I stuff the bullet way down in there.

Do you think there will be a problem with the amount of bullet that has to be shoved in the case?

Has anyone played around with these in the 300 wsm? I have Reloader 22, Reloader 17, Imr 4831, and IMR7828 to play with.
 
I shoot them in my Savage Mod 12 300WSM. With RL17, it was OK with the 190ABLR but it shot the 180BT better. When I tried RL26 and the 190ABLR, it woke up the gun, 3100+ fps and one raggged hole.
I tried them in my Sako 85 and your right, they sit deep in case. With RL17 I started low and worked up. Not sure if it was the 1-10 twist but the gun just shot the 180BT much better.
