[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2487431, member: 68758"] Mine is SAAMI. Not AI, but that's irrelevant- nothing forward of the neck/shoulder junction changes. Loaded with 300 A-Tips, at 3.8 OAL provides .020 jump. Close to mag length capacity- I could squeak out another .040 or .050, which will be the case as the throat erodes. I don't want it throated any longer (as a smith, I can easily do it) because the mag length just isn't there to use it. Different story for single loading- but here, mag length IS going to be your constraint. I would carefully consider the "advantage" of a longer throat because you're going to end up with a lot of jump you may not want as the throat erodes (and it will, quickly- if you put any number of rounds down the tube).
