When loading ammo for somebody and you don't have the rifle to check the throat length, do you typically defer to the OAL listed in the loading manual? I nearly always am loading based off a gauge I make with a modified case or loading to mag-length with a jump (as is the case with most short-action big game chamberings), but I'm going to load some 95gr Partitions for a friend's 243win and I won't have the rifle in hand. She's been shooting Fusions and Gamekings in factory ammo and not getting exits. Lot's of tracking with no blood. I don't want to jam lands, but don't want to pole-vault to the lands either. SAAMI throated Savage bolt gun of recent vintage.
