[QUOTE="Tidesloe, post: 2416710, member: 47761"] Who on here is running a standard throat, cycling in a short action? The reason Im asking is Ive got a 338 SS, long throated on a short action, 250 gr Berger built on a 17 lb rifle. I want a hunting rifle in this cartridge, and Im wondering what accuracy velocities are guys getting with standard throating. I have an accuracy load at 2817, and I believe I could go higher, but had to stop load development due to a severe drought and shooting bands all year, and then intense cold set in. That 250 is seated way out and about to fall out of the neck, but extremely accurate. I let the gunsmith talk me into that throating, cause I think it was the only reamer he had. I dont wanna run in a long action. A med length would be my choice, but apparently finding a stock and bottom metal is gonna be a challenge at best. Im a lefty, so that further compounds my problem finding what I think I want. Thanks [/QUOTE]
