[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2502698, member: 27307"] Yes, it's 1.650" in length. No, this bullet, like so many of the heavy for caliber and lathe turned solids, are too long for the SAAMI reamer. I usually buy a custom throating reamer for projects like this so I can experiment with different throat lengths and bullets. Mine is set up in the XM magazine length of 3.200" minus a few thousandths for feeding. It works just fine and does not require a long action. The SAAMI reamer was designed for specific uses, but not for the heavy for caliber and solid bullets. When you work within the parameters of the SAAMI reamer you have a very useful hunting cartridge.
