[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2059093, member: 69478"] As others said, ignore the cannelure. Another thing, not all bullets are going to touch the lands at the exact same CBTO. Every bullet will touch the lands at a different length. Getting rifles and measuring the throat length on them is wasting everyone’s time including your own. Factory rifles are what they are and if you want a special chamber design or dimension then you’ll have to rebarrel the rifle with a reamer of your choice. I’m not trying to be harsh, but I would select a rifle based on its features and it’s reputation. I can tell you that factory Remington 700s in 7mm Rem Mag really like Hornady 162gr ELDs and some, including [USER=72601]@Creedmoor shooter[/USER] have really good luck with the heavier 180gr ELDs. The chamber design is just about perfect with the 162s and a little short with the 180s but neither bullet is held back much. I would focus on a lot more than getting hung up on chamber specs for your first long range hunting rifle. Again, I’m not trying to come off the wrong way, I’m just trying to offer some advice to help you make a good decision. [/QUOTE]
