It has a...longer (and narrower) free-bore
You want a shorter throat for long, sleek bullets, not a longer one.
Exactly. I had a Creed set up for 140 VLD’s. Regular factory ammo had to be set back a bit to chamber.
But the VLD round, fitting the box mag, resulted in a shorter than normal throat. Not a problem for me. Future owner may have some heartburn.
