Would appreciate help with an answer to this- Can the LRP Target action cycle WSM cartridges and or a win. .284 ? What is the maximum cartridge length that the magazine will accept? Thanks for any help.

I had a 7 WSM built off a single-shot Target Action, and it works just fine (still have the barrel & headspace gauges available, if'n you're interested...) and it seemed to feed/cycle fine - as a single shot.
The 12 LRP I have handy is in 6.5 Creedmoor, and the magazine looks to be a standard single-action .308 win class magazine. Max OAL measures (inside wall to inside wall of the magazine body itself) 3.024", so say a fuzz over 3.010-3.015 to leave a little room for fit, etc.
I'm guessing a .284 Win should work pretty well in the repeater, but thats just a guess... not sure how/if the cases would feed from the standard magazine.
