[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 790515, member: 35183"] Perhaps you should try 105's if your throat is so long ? A too long throat is always a problem shooting lighter bullets. For 99% of us we have the opposite problem, a short throat that prevents loading the bullet "long". David Tubb seats his bullets past the lands and they jet jammed (shortened) when chambering. He seems dead set on having the bullet engage the rifling, thats for sure. Have you tried one loaded at max feasible length to see if in fact the bullet has marks on it and a reduced COAL after chambering ? Those tools do not always work correctly for VLD's. Thats what Berger says in their reloading manual. You would for sure want to reduce the load before trying to fire any in that configuration since jammed bullets raise pressure. [/QUOTE]
