[QUOTE="dmgreene, post: 154533, member: 8491"] Marriedman the short OAL shouldn't hurt your accuracy but you could be loosing a lot of your case capicity due to the deep seated bullets. If you have decided that these are the bullets that you are going to shoot, I would make up a dummy round with the bullet base seated about even with neck-shoulder juncture for max case capacity. Have your smith ream the thoat to match your dummy round. Remember though that if you decide to go with a different style or a lighter bullet you may not be able to seat the bullets all the way out to the lands. Another thing is you may want to leave the throat a little short so you can chase the lands. My 6.5-284 OAL has grown .060" in about 800 rounds. [/QUOTE]
