A newbe question, I am having a Savage "target" action barreled in 6.5x47 Lapau. The rifle will be used for F class, long range highpower and varmits it will be an 8 twist barrel so the primary bullets used will be 120 and 123 grain Sierras, 130 Bergers and some 130 JLK's. My question is in regard to the proper throat length to have cut and if it is possible to throat so that each of the mentioned bullets can be set .005-.010 into the grooves while maintaining at least 1.5x bullet diameter engagement in the case neck with the shortest bullet and not create pressure problems with the longest? Pacnor is doing the work and I plan to send them some dummy rounds once dies are received. Would appreciate input form anyone that has previously been down this road, let me know if it is mission impossible.
 
My reamer puts Berger 130's shank/boattail junction dead at neck/shoulder junction when .010 in the lands.
