    I have a Savage 10 FCP - K in 308. I have a 10 round magazine for the gun. I want to put a new barrel on the gun in one of these calibers:

    6.5 x 47
    6.5 x 47 LR
    Creedmore
    260
    260 Improved 30

    I want to take advantage of the better BC with the long bullets in these calibers over my 308. My concern is that I will either have to seat my bullets inside my case (past the neck) or use smaller lower BC bullets if I want to shot the cartridge from a magazine.

    Does anyone know which of the cartridges above will shoot well from a magazine without worrying about seating the high BC bullets into the case?

    My intended purpose for the gun will be tactical matches out to 1000 yards.

    Thanks,
    Eric
