I have done it this way. The throat on my 9.3 allows for a 3.200 oal. with the 286 Privi, so no long taper on mine and even with a long taper the round nose would contact the rifling.
The Privi 286 is not a short bullet
Actually it is a short bullet, at least as compared to about every other 285 or 286 .366" bullet available. On another thread, Mr. Barsness was making a point about the length variation in 285/286 9.3mm bullets. He wrote:
"I happen to have five different 9.3mm 286-grain bullets on my loading room shelf. Here they are, in order from longest to shortest:
Barnes TSX--1.521"
Woodleigh Weldcore--1.444"
Nosler Solid--1.414"
Nosler Partition--1.373"
Hornady Spire Point--1.313" "
I can add that I also have the Privi, and the Lapua Mega, which appear identical, and both are 1.238". By far the shortest 285/286 9.3 I have used.
Not trying to find fault, just highlighting what I have observed.
Cheers,
Rex
