[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3511469, member: 5412"] In a standard AR-15 your correct. Modifications can be made to the AR-15 platform to accommodate longer cartridges though. My .243 WSSM cartridge is 2.362 in in overall length. Requires a special bolt/magazine and modifications to the upper to allow the fat round to get out the ejection port. Olympic arms once produced a .22-250 in the AR-15 platform that never became popular because they folded about the time it came out. But I see your point with the length of the 6.8 Western because the mag well won't support that length. It was a good thought on my part though! :D [/QUOTE]
