[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1208669, member: 24284"] The long throat sucks. But, when Bubba does his own 'gunsmithing' that's what happens. If your 'smith sets the barrel back one turn, mathematically that'll back the chamber up .083". He will then re-headspace the chamber. The "headspace" then can be set for the .004" crush on .280 Rem. ammo, as Ackley recommended. It's hard to set a barrel back more then one turn on a Mauser because most (not all) threaded tenons on Mausers have a "relief cut" or "kerf" cut next to the shoulder. Take more than one thread and that "kerf" gets pretty wide and the number of threads is reduced. [/QUOTE]
