I am considering a Remington 700 CDL in the 25-06 caliber. After talking to a few people and researching on the web, I've found that Remington tends to extend the throat length which makes it hard to reach the lands (or even get close in some cases). I called Remington and asked for the specs on this and he denied my request saying they are bored to "semi specs" and that is all he can tell me.
He did however admit to this saying, "yes, we do extend our throats". I mentioned the fact that sometimes seating the bullet close to the lands can be a key ingrediant to accuracy. I could tell he really didn't care. In fact, I believe he was eating something while on the phone with me!
1. So my question, is this something I should be worried about or am I working myself up for nothing? I plan to use this for both coyotes and deer with this gun. So my bullet range will be 120-75grains.
Any help would be appreciated..
