[QUOTE="TimeOnTarget, post: 612679, member: 37347"] Finally got some trigger/loading time on my 6.5 this morning. I must have gotten a short throat barrel because @ 3.03" with 140 bergers im touching the lands. My die will only go down to 2.94 and even @ 3.03 That puts dang near half of the 140vld inside the case. I've tried from 2.94 to 3.13 COAL. I've only tried 2 powders so far. h4831sc and Retumbo. Best group so far was 49.0grns of h4831sc @ 3.13 (1-1.25") but this is a hunting rifle and not real keen on the idea of putting the bullet .10 into the lands. The retumbo produced 1.5 groups @ best Rifle specs. Savage 110 action 26" shilen barrel 1-8" twist B&C Medalist stock(not bedded) Rifle basix trigger Any ideas how to get this short throated barrel to shoot? I'd really like to shoot the 140vlds but with the bullet being so long it just might not work out. Help! [/QUOTE]
