Just bought a Hornady "Lock-N-Load" Straight O.A.L. guage . This rifle will be dedicated to shooting 65gr-80gr bullets, with an occasional 60gr V-max. So starting with 69gr Sierra TMK bullets . Following the directions C.O.A.L. is 2.453 ,then using a 1" Sinclair Bullet comparator at the OGIVE it measured 1.979. I've been advised to seat bullets .015 away from lands and move.005 into lands until touching . Gunsmith that chambered this rifle said He could lengthen the throat if needed . So my question is, is lengthening the throat needed ? Why would I want to do this ?

Push some 75-90gr VLD's in front of 35+ gr of 4350 burn rate powders jammed hard while developing loads.
Play w/ seating depth if running thru a magazine.
Wasting a 1:8" twist 22-250 chambered Bbl pushing 65gr projectiles is counter productive.
Accuracy trumps velocity any day of the week.
