[QUOTE="06mauser, post: 1639538, member: 11244"] The measurement given was cartridge overall length (tip to base). I just loaded these up matching the specs in the Hornady manual to see how the rifle shot. The 788 may have been a cheaper rifle when they were in production but were not built cheaply like the low end crap of today. I have had many offers for my other 788 that would pay for a new short action BDL if I took them. That gun is all original and chambered in .222 rem and shoots bug holes all day long. When I do have this 243 re-barreled it will be with a top end barrel. I just haven't decided if it is going to be steel or carbon. [/QUOTE]
