I have some questions on throating of a 6.5-284.
I am trying to use 142 gn Sierra MK's to shoot 1000 yd target.
Right now I have a C.O.L.=2.928" just touching the lands.
What sort of cartridge overall lengths are people using out there for this combination?
Should I consider lengthening the throat to get closer to the 3.228" shown in the cartridge diagrams on the 6mmbr site?
Is it still the practice to embed the bullet one bullet diameter in the case?
Thanks.
