The only thing that gets me is this. I feel like TC wants me to send it back as a precaution of course.

Even though this rifle has a very short throat, I am still withing specs (I think) I cant imagine that that the throat not allowing me to seat the bullet within .100 of Saami Maximum is really an issue. After all the 2.860 is Maximum Cartridge length right?

Being shorter than that should be a non issue as long as I am not over pressure. And my bullets bearing surface is not seated below the case mouth. Also I have Factory ammunition that is loaded even shorter than The rounds I have loaded......

As I shoot this rifle more and more, the throat will erode and get longer anyway?

The real question now is whether to actually send it back or not...
