I'm loading Hornady A-max 168gr bullets. When i run the Hornady/Stoney Creek guide on it, i consistently come up with a length of 2.950 This is on a new remington 700P. Doesn't that seem long?

Re: Another OAL Question .308
You're getting 2.950 as a distance to the lands with a Stoney Point guage, or are you talking the length of the loaded round?

Re: Another OAL Question .308
That would be the distance to the lands with the gauge.

2.950" COAL with 168 Amax's isn't unusual in what LoneWolfUSMC has been heard to refer to as the "porn star" factory remington throats.
