[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1372648, member: 42308"] The factory HSM sticks into your lands when you try to eject a loaded factory round? That seems to raise a flag to me. The 142 SMK has a different shape than either of the Berger bullets. Do not base anything off of that CBTO measurement. Only believe your actual measurement of the actual bullet you are using in your chamber. It is what it is and it maybe too short and need professional work or a factory exchange. Purposely seat a bullet long in a piece of your sized and prepared brass, color it with a sharpie and chamber it in your rifle. Get the bullet out of your chamber throat with a cleaning rod and carefully seat it to where the sharpie is scratched off by the case neck. Measure that bullet, that represents the exact CBTO length of your chamber. Nothing else is more than conjecture and comparison. [/QUOTE]
