[QUOTE="HavenHunter, post: 1198333, member: 95472"] I'm new to this stuff and hope someone can help. Just recently purchased a 7 Saum that was reamed and throated for the 180 bergers but the reamer was printed for a short action. My gun happens to be a long action so i didn't think I would run into this problem so I'm hoping someone can help. I got some reloading data from a fella that had a short action gun built by the same smith with the same reamer. Just to mess around and see how the rifle fed, I loaded a dummy round to the same exact over all length, .2.950, which was .01 off the lands of the data I received from the guy. Put the dummy in the box of the long action and proceeded to chamber the round. As the bolt pushed the dummy forward, the nose of the bullet caught on the front of the action, leaving the inside of the action with a stripe from the nose of the bullet and leaving the nose of the bullet a bit deformed. Why with a dummy loaded for a "short action" rifle scrape in a long action gun? I tried this a few times and every time the bullet dug into the action and fed rough. I'm hoping it's something stupid I over looked. Thanks to anyone that replies. [/QUOTE]
