[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 863264, member: 268"] I couldn't tell you what a gunsmith would or wouldn't know. If it were me, I'd include an inert dummy round with the bullet of choice seated to the desired oal, and ask the smith to throat accordingly. I'd ask for the bullet to be 10 thou' off the lands. Another thing to consider is this. If the oal is too long, you may not be able to eject a loaded round without releasing the bolt stop. In my Rem's, 3.08" is about it in factory form. I had Wyatt's long mag boxes installed, and the boltstops shortened accordingly. That bought a little more oal latitude with ability to have a loaded round clear the front receiver on extraction/ejection. [/QUOTE]
