It appears I've got myself a rifle with a short throat. How short is still to be determined. When I get to my reload bench with an unprimed case, a couple bullets, seater die and a sharpie, I'll try to see whats happening.
That said... is there any upside to a short throated rifle?
All I'm thinking of is the limitations.
Limited to shorter bullets. Limited to deeper seating and encroaching on powder charge, leading to... Limited velocity?
