[QUOTE="BillyGoatGruff, post: 2454028, member: 63346"] Well it surprised me too. I had to measure things several times to believe it. Your comment got me curious though. So I measured some factory ammunition I have laying around just as references. Fed 160 accb, a Barnes somethin and a Win 175 something. Shoulders all within 1-2 thou of my new Nosler brass. But two Hornady's are only 4-5 thou shorter than my new once fired Nosler. so much closer to actual chamber length. I also measured some older multi fired Nosler brass from the previous barrel and those are 3 thou shorter than my new once fired. So the new chamber is a touch longer than the old one. And new ammunition varies quite a lot from one brand to the other. I'm surprised that the new Nosler brass is so short. You'd think they'd make it closer in the shoulder knowing that anyone buying it is hand loading for accuracy and want a couple thou shoulder bump. I could see 5 thou short , but 15 thou..? geez!
