[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1733002, member: 75779"] I've read the original post and suggested an appropriate response. You only have 4 choices when you have a long throat and nothing shoots well at mag length. 1) load long and single feed 2) add an extended box mag 3) use bullets that often work well with a big jump (Barnes recommends starting 50 off) 4) set back the barrel to correct the throat The suggestion to load longer than mag length is to establish if the gun will shoot well at all. If it does, then maybe the mag box extension is the answer or perhaps single feeding it. After shooting thousands of bullets in Magnum cartridges, most cup and core bullets shoot best from slight jam to .050 off. Many times magazines won't get you within .1" [/QUOTE]
