Anyone else here with one of the above find that their throat is REALLY short? I finally got my Hornady OAL gauge and comparator to measure the distance to the rifling in my 10FLP. Using a SMK 175g, I measured out a case to a length of 3.230 at the Ogive (including the comparator), and a COAL of 2.798 to the tip. Just for comparison, I took a box of Federal Gold Medal Match 175g SMKs and measured 10 of them to the Ogive, and came up with an average of 3.222. That's only .008 off the rifling!

Just curious if this is common with other Savage 10FP and 10FLPs out there. I'm going to have to be really careful with my reloads COL it looks like.
