[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1035001, member: 52437"] I am in the process of testing sierra game kings 180 for my 3006. My remington 700 has an extremely long throat which is causing issues with loading lengths. Honestly for this bullet to touch the lands would mean it would just be resting on top of the case because it has such a long boatail. Someone once told me you should have about 1 calibers worth of contact surface on the side of the bullet with the neck of the case. Well If i was going to do that I would have to be .100 off the lands. .040 off the lands gives me like .15 of an inch of seating from where the bullet makes contact with the case neck which is only half a caliber. What would the danger be here loading the bullet so far up in the case? Thanks [/QUOTE]
