2.25 would be jammed in every rifle I measured. That doesn't mean it would be jammed in yours. Only way to know is measure.

I had a Savage 16FSS once that would be OK at the cannelure. The throat was excessive to say the least....

I'm not degrading this bullet. I think it will make a heck of a deer slayer and it shoots accurately too. I like it enough that I've already developed a pretty good supply!

I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
