Are you shooting a Remington? That's a long seating depth! No two reamers cut the same exact chamber dimensions, and with all the reamers out there through time cutting 30-06 chambers, it is safe to say that seating depth recommendations for a rifle you have never seen can border on stupidly dangerous.


Got to be a typo on that OAL = 3.560. The 180 gr bullet is just 0.110" into the case!

If I load the max listed OAL of 3.340", the 180s are still way off the lands. Don't recall the exact length, but my Rem 700 has a deep throat.
