[QUOTE="winmag, post: 698938, member: 22166"] I cheated. I had my 300WSM built on one of my old Long Action Model-70's:D I've got ample room in the mag, & I was still able to have er throated for 200gr Accubonds, but I shoot 180's currently with a c.o.a.l. of over 3 inches. I could shoot down to 165's & not be throated too long, but if I wanted to shoot bullets that light, I'd have kept it as an -06'. Like SBruce said, Have it throated long enough to accommodate your longest bullet you plan to use, but not so long you can't shoot lighter ones too, if you wish. This is good advise for a hunting rifle. [/QUOTE]
