[QUOTE="Jamie6.5, post: 304818, member: 16954"] I've had 2 remington 700 .270s and the both had deep throats/long leade. I asked my old 'smith about it on the first one and he showed me a 160gr round nosed factory load by Norma I think (it was many years ago). Anyway, he explained that most rifle makers chamber .270s to accept these rounds without jamming that long round nosed slug into the lands. Thus the deep throat. It made sense to me at the time and still does. I don't mind it now that I know I can seat a 150gr tangent or double secant ogive bullet waaay out there and still be .020 off the lands. This makes for more powder capacity and lower pressures up around the max load(s). Thankfully the magazine is long enough to allow them. YMMV, Jamie [/QUOTE]
