ar-15 OAL problems

[craiger40]

well guys its my birthday and for my birthday my wife bought me a 24" heavy varmint upper reciever for my ar-15 but deal is the OAl is way longer than the magazine will allow what do i do load short or chamber one at a time i would be using this on whistle pigs ,bobcat and some "yotes" and shooting 50-70gr bullets

Load them to fit the mag. Try playing with the OAL in the upper range of the lenght that fits in your magazine and you will likely find a sweet spot. Not all rifles want or need the bullet out to the lands to shoot well.

ditto, you will also find that small changes in powder charges will also help with tweaking accuracy.
