Drt4lfe, I'm right on track with you there. Seating the VLD's out to the lands normally has some great benefits and will probably be the way I go in the end. But in an effort to use the magazine I am starting with a load that will fit.

Now for an update. I have modified my magazine using JB Weld to in effect raise the formed...I will call them, case arrest...ridges that are designed to stop forward movement of the cartridge under recoil. The cases still feed fine and load with no problem, I will be testing them tomorrow and will report results for those interested.
