[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4162023, member: 15054"] Yea I got froggy and pulled a savage axis barrel off an action and tried to use a barrel I bought off someone here. I get it set up and go to chamber a loaded round that my other 2 Savage Axis rifles eat like candy. It would not chamber :( The empty brass chambers fine. I was using 55 V-max bullets and the other rifles like them seated 2.278" so i figured seat them deeper to 2.260 and should be good. NOPE! Dad gum throat is short in this one and even at 2.230" it will contact the bullet and have sticky bolt lift. Yea that's not going to work out so i pulled that barrel back off. It is not a pretty barrel but it is a heavy factory Savage Axis .223 barrel 22" long and I really have been wanting a short 18" one and i had cut this one to 18" last night and did all that to find out short throat. I may one day get a throat reamer for it just to mess around with an 18" heavy barrel .223. I even modified the Axis stock to fit that barrel. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
