[QUOTE="Sandstrom22, post: 1072460, member: 89881"] Wow, didn't think my lands were too far out from what I had been loading. I loaded a empty shell with a very light neck tension into the action and slid it in until the bullet was all the way in and bolt was down(took a little bit of force but it worked). I tried to eject the shell, but the opening on the action was not long enough. So I had to release the bolt and pull it out where the bullet shroud comes to the action. Measure it on the caliper 3.684"....thinking I did it wrong I repeated the same thing. Same length at 3.684"...versus the factory coal at 3.34"... Anyone else with a 300wm t3 seeing the same coal length to find the lands? Or anyone familiar with this length on their rifle. The 210gr VLD is sitting out pretty far on the case? I had been loading my reloads right at 3.35" so that I could get them compatable with my clip and still eject them if I didn't discharge the round. I plan on shooting a handfull of these next weeknd. The loads I've been shooting I'm getting a 1/2"-3/4" group at 150 yds but shot it yesterday at 600 was getting about a 8" group. Thinking maybe my vx3 4.5-14 is partially to blame because Its a pain to hold on the Orange bullseye but hoping this longer bullet tightens em up. [/QUOTE]
