Do you measure from the ogive or the tip of the bullet?
Do you have access to a long-action bolt stop?

As you probably know 2.8 coal is as long as I can go without modifying the bolt stop and getting a long action mag. That puts me with a .13 jump off the lands. I’d rather keep the SA if I can get it to shoot over 2700 FPS, I might get lucky and find some big game this weekend at the gun show. I’m hoping to try the hunter at 2.8 Friday. I wanted something that will reach out a bit and not be brutal at the range and lite enough to hunt. It’s getting a
SS 3-15x42 and I’ve got local ranges to 1700 once the snow melts. The 150 and 162 eld x is what made this caliber interesting to me.
