[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 194062, member: 10214"] Your question is a little confusing. I have to assume you're saying that your rifle has a long throat, and you measured it to find that your OAL to touch the lands is .028" longer than the standard OAL for a loaded cartridge. Is this correct? Your cases should be trimmed to length for consistant neck tension and accuracy. Long factory throats may require you to seat the bullets further out than the OAL spec. Some bullets (like Berger VLD's) are sensitive to jump, and others are not. You must experiment with your OAL to see how the bullet likes to be seated. This is part of your load development. I hope I understand your question correctly, if not please explain again (I think that's why you haven't gotten a response). [/QUOTE]
