[QUOTE="Iron Worker, post: 1183029, member: 2332"] Just bought a Hornady "Lock-N-Load" Straight O.A.L. guage . This rifle will be dedicated to shooting 65gr-80gr bullets, with an occasional 60gr V-max. So starting with 69gr Sierra TMK bullets . Following the directions C.O.A.L. is 2.453 ,then using a 1" Sinclair Bullet comparator at the OGIVE it measured 1.979. I've been advised to seat bullets .015 away from lands and move.005 into lands until touching . Gunsmith that chambered this rifle said He could lengthen the throat if needed . So my question is, is lengthening the throat needed ? Why would I want to do this ? [/QUOTE]
