I measured my Shilen with a Hornady OAL gauge and 123g Lapua Scenar. It's real tight too. I would like to know how the tapered throat plays into this. I can jam the bullet in with a little force, and not seeing any nicks from rifling. It's in there good enough that I have to punch it back out with a dowel. My JP barrel has some room, maybe .02 to .03.
