[QUOTE="eshell, post: 2992529, member: 5747"] Having measured a few dozen students' Remington tactical rifles (5R, PSS, LTR) during handloading classes, this is my experience as well. Load them to mag length and be happy. I have a Remington LTR that shoots 100 yard bugholes with 168 SMKs/FGMM 168s and I can't reach the rifling without the bullet falling out in that thing either. Coming from a 1k benchrest/F-Class background, it really bothered me at first, but as well as it shoots, I try to put it out of my mind. As was posted upstream, the OP's '06 is a "hunting rifle". It is designed to digest factory ammo in whatever bullet weight and design the shooter might choose. Load to mag length and be happy. FWIW, one will usually find that bullets with a tangent ogive are more forgiving of seating length and bullet selection may help with finding best precision from a long-throated gun. [/QUOTE]
