Carbon, When I said the throat in my model 50 was short and asked about yours I appreciated your answer and finally measured mine today. I took a fired case and w/a neck die sized about 3mm of the neck and then put a 180 gr. Sierra MK in it about that deep and closed the bolt. The coal from tip to base is 3.255 a lot shorter than yours, anyway FYI. Thanks-Muddy
