[QUOTE="AKSavage, post: 1250028, member: 95938"] Both magazine length and seating depth have enough wiggle room to allow me to seat bullets further out. As a matter of fact with the added distance to the lands my bullets now seat with the bullet's body/tail junction right at the neck/shoulder junction of the case, and the COAL is still just below magazine length. In some ways, if the accuracy is still there then the added throat length has actually gotten me closer to where I want to be in seating depth. Now if it would just stay there!:rolleyes: The barrel is on a Savage action, there's still some extra room on the barrel threads, and I own the chamber reamer. All that to say that if/when accuracy does go south, could just have the barrel set back by, say, 1/4"? Or would the throat beyond 1/4" probably also be ruined by then, so setting the barrel back 1/4" would just be a waste of time? I mean, a barrel being shot out is not just about where the lands start, right? I appreciate the responses. Great discussion. I'm learning a lot! [/QUOTE]
