[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2184288, member: 10755"] Interesting, not one of my 7 300WM have short throats. I have both SAAMI and A191 chambers. The SAAMI throats run .220” or thereabouts and the A191 runs .245”. These are not short throats. In fact, the 300WM SAAMI chamber is hindered in standard length actions because you can only load to 3.390” in their magazines and it takes 3.620” to get to the rifling with most VLD or hybrid bullets. If you want closer, then you single feed or buy a Wyatt’s. My new 300RUM does have a short throat in comparison. It is a Rem 700, and maybe that is why it’s designed that way taking in regard to the 3.7” length of their mag box. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
