[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2790665, member: 87887"] Vince, I'll have to get load info to you tonight when I get home. As a side note, 80 grain Hammer Hunters and 105 Berger HVLD have basically same CBTO in my rifle. The AMAXs were 2.192 when gun was brand new. Only had a hundred so I never checked that length again after break in. I simply assumed the difference to be ogive profile. As I said before, I was surprised at the level of fire cracking I saw when inspecting the chamber for a carbon ring and bronze brushed the neck and throat area prior to checking this dimension, so there should be no burrs. There is certainly some degradation of the throat area and a bullet could be forced a few thousandths further, but the basic dimension hasn't changed much. This is primarily a hunting rifle and it's taken me about 4 years to put that many rounds down the pipe. [/QUOTE]
