Having recently acquired a Browning 71 In 348 Win, I am working up reload info to get started.
I have read in several places that the Browning 71 has a shorter throat than the original Win 71. It is even noted by some lead bullet makers their bullet cannot be used in the B71 for that reason. The LBT 250 gr bullet is one example.
Is there anyway to KNOW that any particular 250 gr bullet would or would not work due to this "short throat" issue? Hate to buy a box and find out it won't work.
Similar question: Is it assured that all FACTORY 348 Win ammo, presumably made to SAMMI specs, is not too long for my Browning 71?
