[QUOTE="FatBoy..., post: 33225, member: 349"] JustC, Not that it's apples to apples, but I short throat my 6.5x284's by .1". This puts the base of the bullet at the body/shouder junction. With my load of 49gr of H4350, I still have only about 90% load density, and it shoots outstanding. I think that the ideal of having the boat tail start at the neck/shoulder junction has merit, but it's not a rule set in stone. You may be better served with a different powder, or less/more neck tension. This also may be a result of a slightly tigher bore. You didn't mesnion how it shoots.. Chris... [/QUOTE]
