[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 553450, member: 24624"] No offense to the OP. But, I question whether you are even measuring correctly. Perhaps it's possible that Remington chambered/throated/freebored your rifle or a batch of them different from others? What you describe has not been a problem for me or others with Senderos. I would fully expect to be able to seat a 180 Berger in a 7RM Sendero far enough out to touch the lands and still have enough neck contact/tension on the shannk to hold the bullet. It may be too long in some rifles to fit in the magazine. But, even this has not been a problem for me. I would sure be interested in seeing a measurement with a Hornady OAL gauge using the 180 Berger and perhaps a chamber cast using Cerrosafe. Because if what you're experiencing is true, then either (a) Remington has Q/A issues, (b) Remington has changed reamer designs from time to time, or (c) someone erroded or modified the chamber/throat. How did you determine your OAL to reach the lands? -- richard [/QUOTE]
