[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1092207, member: 63138"] [SIZE=2]Yeah, you are doing something wrong or you don't have a SAAMI chamber. See below the COALs for my 30-06. Really the most reliable and pretty easy way to check your rifle for max COAL is to pick one of your brass (ready to reload but with no primer/powder) and seat the bullet in question ~ 0.2 longer than will touch the lands (guesstimate). Then use your rifle chamber to seat the bullet the rest of the way. Open and close the bolt a few times and then measure the length of the round.
