Re: Savage throat length?
Get an overall length gauge to determine that, each rifle will vary. Although they may be same factory rifle I wouldnt assume that the throats are all the same. Thats what I've learned anyways. Youre getting into the realm of dangerous when you cram a long seated bullet into your lands at max load. Dont do it unless your certain your seating depth is correct. Read up on soft seating bullets using a bar of soap if you dont wanna spend the money on gauge. And start the load light, looking for pressure signs while you work up to it.
