How long can you go for magazine feed from the various AXIS magazines?
What is the longest unfired cartridge that will eject?
Is there a specific cartridge you are asking about - or are you looking for an all-inclusive refernce?
I'm most interested in the 300 WinMag and 30-06 magazines.Quote:

In this case the cartridge needs to be fired rather than ejected to avoid leaving a bullet jammed in the lands and powder spilling into the action. If the bolt will close on on a cartridge (and it's not jammed in the lands) then it should eject.
It's just another attribute Savage seems to have gotten right.These observations are just based on my experiences with quite a few different rifles and may not be true for all Savage rifles.
If it will fit in the magazine, it will eject.
Inside length of a 30-06 Axis magazine is 3.523" wall-to-wall.
Thanks.Quote:
