[QUOTE="woods, post: 271405, member: 6042"] A couple of guesses 1. He is giving you a tight chamber which will increase pressure and thus velocity 2. He wanted to sell you an action that had a short magazine. I have a custom 338 RUM that was made from a 338 win mag and I had to have a short throat in order to fit the mag and reach the lands. One thing you will have to watch for is that you will develop pressure signs at a lower powder charge than one with a longer throat. So don't load close to max until you work up from way down.
