question?? Short throat 223 with 75g hornady match

[oneraggedhole]

I have a 223 that is suppose to be a 1:7.7 twist. With a 75g hornady match bullet I am touching the lands at 2.310oal. At 2.320 the bullet is seated past the neck on the inside. I know it will kill case capacity but will I see problems if it's seated that deep into the case?

Used to shoot the 75BTHP Match from a 1:8tw AR, loaded just under max. mag length constraints of 2.260". Never bothered to measure jump length, just throttled 'em up with TAC powder, and they shot great...
You might be infringing on powder capacity, as I was, but whether that qualifies as a "problem", is up to you. Id' say, give what you got an honest chance, and see what shakes out. If ya just can't smile with what you find, then you're only a throating reamer away from happiness...

Good luck & have fun!

Thanks guys.... case capacity doesn't seem to be an issue for me. I shot two days and with it between 22.0-24.0g in .2g increments of 8208 and the smaller the charge, the better it shoots. It'll shoot three shot strings in the high 1's but throws a flyer with one of the other two in a 5 shot string. I'm waiting on different bullets and getting some varget tomorrow and see what it'll do.
