[QUOTE="sakoluvr, post: 956973, member: 28743"] So what you you are saying is your throat is .557 shorter than your magazine. Hmm, I recently bought a 1965ish 700 in 6mm Rem, and I just finished making some dummy rounds with a COAL of 2.80" using the 95gr Nosler BT. I didn't bother checking for throat since I figured magazine constraints would limit things right out of the gate. My 2.80" dummies feed and load fine. Somebody may have done some gunsmithing on your rifle with a throat as short as that. Keep in mind that the long and heavies did not exist when your rifle was made, and the original owner was using short and light bullets kissing the lands. You may have to get a new tube if you want to shoot the longer VLD bullets. Correct me if I misunderstood your post. [/QUOTE]
