I have a M700 in -06 that has a very long throat. If the bullets are seated anywhere near the lands, there is only about 1 caliber of bullet still in the brass with 180 Barnes. With anything else, you can't come close to the lands. Luckily Barnes like a fair amount of jump and it does MOA or better with them.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
