Now for another interesting discovery. For this being a new Lawyer Era rifle,the throat is VERY short. I will never need the whole magazine that's for sure. 139gr Hornady Spire Points seated to a COAL of 3.330 won't allow the bolt to close. 3.300 and it will close,but with distinct land marks. Not sure I like it this way. Gonna be hard to get all the juice from the round.
From my samples of those bullets collected over time it seems Hornady fattened the ogives a few years ago.
More recently the same thing seems to have happened to the 150 grain .308" flat base. To my annoyance I might add, my rifles not liking them as much.
