Happily, in my 700 .243 I can reach the lands within the confines of the magazine box with the 105 A-Max. Now to see if they will stabilize in the 1-9 twist.

I shoot a Remy 243 VLS with a 1 in 9.25 twist and the 105's shoot great in this rifle. The Ogive is 2.30 and they like to be shot at 2.310 .
I ALSO LIKE THE 87 gr v-Max which I found my Ogive around 2.319 and so far like the depth of 2.322 with 40 grs of IMR 4064 there going on the average of 3450 fps.

Whats your over all cartridge length ? I have a 700 in 243 and it shoots really well with the 87gr hornaday.
 
"...won't get it in the magazine box and anywhere near the lands..." That's not just a myth. It's total nonsense. Been loading a Speer 105 SP with an OAL of 2.710", for years. Just astounding what one does to a ground hog. Practically turns 'em inside out.
"...wondering if they will fit..." They should. Most commercial hunting rifles are rifled for heavy bullets.
Remember that A-Max's are supposedly match grade bullet and aren't made for hunting large game. Rumoured not to be that great as match bullets though.
