[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1082529, member: 10755"] Your measurement is on par with todays chamberings, long throats are the norm. Too much emphasis is placed on distance to the lands these days. IF you have a tight chambered target rifle with a normally throated or custom cut throat, then yes, it's important to know how close you can get to the lands with a round in the magazine, but seeing as though you can't get close unless you single load, I would load to within .010" of the max mag length and test 5 rounds for accuracy, if no good, work DEEPER into the case by .005" at a time testing for accuracy. I normally don't go deeper than .050"" from max mag length. I load 5 rounds each at .005" increments and shoot for groups all on the same day, usually 5 sets is enough to find an accurate seating depth with most bullets. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
