[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1637314, member: 101859"] Throated where I like, to keep the pressure ring of the bullet in the resized portion of the neck, a rum with a 215 is about 3.950" and an edge with a 300 is over 4". Any shorter and you push the pressure ring of the bullet all the way through the sized part of the neck and loose control of your neck tension. And a rum is really better sized for the 230 in my opinion. Personally I would rather have the rifle throated correctly than have 2 in the mag. I dont say single shot as a negative, it produces a better rifle in my opinion.
