[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 659367, member: 5302"] First off, I'm surprised that Savage chambered that barrel with such a short throat. They're not using SAAMI specs for their chambers in that area. I stand (sit?) corrected. But I don't understand what you mean by "FL or necksize doesn't matter, that's why you can check runout." Please explain. A friend shot some 600 yard test groups in 1971 with his .308 and two of them were under that benchrest record; 10 shot ones at that. He shot several 10-shot groups that day ranging from just under .7 inch to about 1.5 inch. Then he fired a 40-shot group at 600 that was 1.92" between extreme centers. All with full length sized cases. Now it's your turn to sit (stand?) corrected. I've shot .30-.338 ammo with both new and full length sized cases into three 5-shot groups for each bullet weight averaging about 3.6 inches with 190 and 200 HPMK's. Win. 70 action, wood stock fired prone from sandbags just testing for load performance.
