Barrel from Lilja on the way to the smith, he asked for a couple dummy rounds to measure and chamber.

Kimber 84L gives me 3.34 max, yesterday I set a couple up at 3.32 so the bearing surface is just above the shoulder, which is what he recommended for doughnut control.

What are you guys running for OAL?
 
I shot the 180's from a 22" 284 tikka. If I remember correctly my oal was around 3.28 and it shot well. Load i settled on was 2700fps using 4831sc
