[QUOTE="CoyoteKid, post: 913165, member: 9928"] Case Lenght I bought a Hornady case OAL (over all length) gauge at my local precision gun store. I then followed the instructions on the OAL gauge and then backed the OAL off by .010 inches. I also realize that many people think im from OK but im really from SD and think you have a very interesting Forum with more info pertaining to me than i have found on any others. On the issue of throat erosion! The use of stock ammo is mass produced to work in EVERY rifle of that caliber. This means that the cases are super short. When you fire this cartridge the bullet "Jumps" from the neck to the rifling causing the bullet to contact off center and erode the throat. I shoot 140 grain and 168 grain VLD in .264 and 7mm respectively. If you use your OAL gauge and then back the case off .010 then the closest part of the bullet to the throat would be the part that you got your OAL measurement form and there for you would not have contact if you move back to a length of your desiring.
