Are these 2 diameter bullets still available? They would work well in my .260 Rem. which has a VERY short throat

Walkalong, The .007" mentioned is my assumption from the SAAMI case specification of 1.6340"~.007", not from any measurements. You mentioned you like to have .001" to .002". My fired cases measure 1.618". How do I achieve the .001"-.002" for my cases in my chamber.

Cartridge head space as I understand it is measured from the face of the cartridge head (face of the bolt) to that part of the cartridge which stops the cartridge from moving any farther into the chamber(the datum). In the case of the .308 family of cartridges the datum is that point on the...

Clark: My rifle is a Kimber 84M Classic. A cast of the chamber measures .300 at the neck/shoulder junction and .298 at the mouth. The rifling starts off tapering right at the neck rather than having a .020" or so leade with a diameter of .265, which it should have, if I am reading the SAAMI...

The measurement at the neck/shoulder junction is .2927, so it looks like I am ok. Rockydoc
