[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2118248, member: 10755"] The difference between what you state as a COL of 3.395” to where the bullet shoots best, unless I missed it I didn’t see the measurement listed, is how much longer your throat needs to be. I turned up some gauges that are the same ID as the barrel bore so I can measure the ogive length precisely. So in my vernier I simply measure backwards and take that number away from the OAL of the bullet. I can then work out freebore length using that figure. Most bullet comparators can be used for that measurement too. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
