Here is a good article about the cartridge:

Be sure to be aware that these are listed as MAXIMUM loads according to their tests.

Whatever rifle they were using obviously is a true short action, long throated like mine has the bearing surface boatail junction just above the neck shoulder junction at 3.05 c.o.a.l with a 140 VLD to the lands. Its either jumping a mile or its not truly " Long throated".

I see they are jumping them a " mile"
