[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 737570, member: 2215"] O.A.L. will vary depending on what length your throat is. My 6.5-284 reamer has .220" free bore. This sets me right up for a 142 SMK or 140 Berger. The boat tail junction of the bullet sits at the neck / shoulder junction of the case. I've got about 750 rounds down the tube with mine and my C.O.A.L. is 3.170" right now with a 140 Berger seated at the lands. The throat has burned a little over 1/8" since it was first chambered, but I still have plenty of neck holding the bullet. The only way to now your true O.A.L. of ogive to base of case is to measure it. I've always got my 6.5-284's to shoot good either right at the lands or .005" off. [/QUOTE]
