[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 306980, member: 313"] I don't measure for a traditional OAL. I use a Stoney Point gauge and measure off the ogive. I am currently shooting with the bullet .020" off the rifling. There is still room in the case with the 101.1 gr of US869 and I haven't seen any indication of excessive pressure yet. However, 3,150 ft/sec with a 210gr bullet is as fast as I'm interested in pushing them big boys. Thankfully I had Kirby put one of his PK brakes on the Broughton. The big 300 RUM recoils less than my .308 win. [/QUOTE]
