[QUOTE="284stak, post: 194195, member: 8891"] Thanks for the reply: The question is not related to throat length but to the chamber neck length. A chamber length gauge measures the true distance from the bolt face to the end of the chambers neck. The throat length is from the end of the chamber neck to the lands. Knowing the exact chamber length can tell you how much longer your chamber is compared to the published chamber length for case trimming purposes. In my 270 Win - my chamber length is 0.028" longer than what the recommended trim length is. My questions were: Other than knowing I can let my cases grow that much more - is there any other usefull info from knowing the true chamber length? Should I let the cases grow that much or just trim them to published case length? Hope this clears up any questions as to what I am asking and appreciate any replys. [/QUOTE]
