    So...

    What's the max COL that would fit the 223 Mini Action mag? Would the mag be a limitation for using longer bullets, as I see the newest ones have 1:8 twist?

    I just measured. I reckon you can get just over 59, maybe 59.5 mm if you're lucky.

    I load to 57.5, which feeds perfectly. Haven't tried anything longer.
