[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1121005, member: 10178"] No your max case length for the 300 Savage is 1.871 and you should trim them to 1.860 like you have. Your chamber length does not include the throat length. The throat is smaller in diameter than the neck portion of your chamber. Pay attention to if your COAL will work through your magazine when loading the bullet out long. From my experience never load a bullet closer than 10 thousands of the lands for a hunting round. Recoil can make rounds in the magazine move forward or you can make a slight mistake when seating the bullet etc. and end up sticking a bullet in the bore and pouring the action full of powder and not having a cleaning rod to poke the bullet out of the bore when you are out in the woods if you load the rifle up and walk to a tree stand, cross a fence etc. and have to unload the rifle. It can ruin a days hunt. Don't ask me how I know this. :rolleyes: By the way the 125 gr Nosler ballistic tip makes a great deer size game bullet out of the 300 Savage. [/QUOTE]
