[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1399760, member: 10291"] Yes, my COAL is in that range, and to Norma specs. Some makers using the Norma dimension will run their throats a bit less (.150” vs the .188” spec) to allow the shooter to chase the lands without running out of neck for the bullet. I have seen no difference in performance with this range of throat with 140gr bullets. I have a few 6,5x284’s. I get very similar velocity(3000FPS), ES(<12), and accuracy(<.5MOA) interchanging 58gr of Retumbo with Fed210M’s and 57gr of Retumbo with Fed215M’s....with all three rifles. This was useful when primers were in short supply under the dictatorship of Obama. Also, I suppose if one was concerned with ignition in sub zero temps, the 215M’s could provide an extra measure of insurance. I haven’t experienced this issue though. [/QUOTE]
