[QUOTE="Brad7348, post: 2435350, member: 70334"] I have a couple of rifles that are chambered with a bit shorter throat so the lands are a bit closer to the ogive on VLD shaped projectiles. The section of the bullet ahead of the ogive is much longer so to fit them in a short action you often have to seat them a bit deeper to achieve the OAL you need to fit them in your magazine. When you do this you push the ogive back closer to the case neck. If you want the ogive close to the lands, they have to throat the free bore area a bit shorter. When you ordered your barrel, did you by chance specify that you would be shooting custom loads, or specifically VLDs? If you try to chamber a round with a shorter fatter bullet profile that is seated further out, I can see how it might contact the lands in this case. I wouldnt expect to happen with the light projectiles you mention, but maybe?? If you change to a long range hunting round, I would bet it would solve your problem. A bit harder to find in pre loaded ammo but not too hard. Generally these are going to be heavier projectiles though, not the varmint vmax variants. I see you mentioned trying ELDMs did you see the same problem with those? [/QUOTE]
