[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 521290, member: 21068"] No, I didn't mean that close of tolerances. I would want to be able to seat the bullet out to touch the rifling without it being 1/2 way down the neck, and likewise; I'd want to be able to seat it back a little too and not have it take up too much case capacity. I would want to be able to adjust seating depth a little both ways with that heavy bullet. I'd rather have it too short than too long, because the throat will wear out as we shoot it. Also, If we throat it short for the heaviest bullets we intend on using, then it's still OK if we decide to try some lighter/shorter bullets. Last thing I personally want is a brand new rifle that I can't get bullets out to the rifling in. Even though I asked for it throated for 105's, I may end up shooting 80's in it too. Again, this is just me. Others may have other preferences. [/QUOTE]
