[QUOTE="Beneviolence, post: 1271012, member: 99245"] Huh..that's odd. I just did this again with with once fired brass and got 3.725" jammed on the lands. That's way shorter than others that I'm seeing. My once fired brass is 2.724" and fresh (all Lapua brass) is 2.715". Seems like the throat of the chamber was cut short. @Bigedp51; I thought this cartridge is headspacing off the belt, so excessive shoulder-chamber space would just allow for the brass to elongate more instead of allow the primer to pop back. Also turns out the action screws weren't tight enough...just blue loctited those and torqued them tight. [/QUOTE]
