7mm Rem Mag - Weatherby Vanguard

Hooligan1,

Sorry for replying to such an old thread. I have just started the process of working up a load for my 7mm Rem Mag Wby Vanguard w/160gr AccuBonds. I noted that your work resulted in a COL of 2.800". This seems way below the 3.290" SAAMI maximum. Am I interpreting this correctly? I realize the SAAMI number is a max, but it would seem that this would place the bullet way off the lands (barely poking out of the case if case is 2.5" or little less). Is the 2.800" length actually measured to the ogive and not the bullet tip?

On an additional note, how did you go about measuring the distance to the lands in your rifle? I just purchased the RCBS precision mic and have used it for headspace measurements (my Vanguard appears to a have a chamber 1 to 2 thousandths below SAAMI min), but not for seating depth yet.

Thanks!!
