[QUOTE="Highbrass1227, post: 2991337, member: 126007"] Hello forum members, I've had very good luck measuring the OAL of my other cartridges to improve accuracy. I have a beautiful low mileage 700 BDL in 30:06 and for the first time measured the OAL. You can see from both of these photographs the first being 150 in the second being 168 grain bullet that they are sticking far out of the neck of the cartridge. Is this even possible? To boot both of these bullets are boat tailed so is it even safe to load them at these long o a l's in terms of neck support? The rifle is currently shooting about 2 MOA. Could the long throat jump be a contributor to this relatively marginal performance? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
