Hey guys
I just started loading for a new Boddington Kudu.
First order of business was to determine cartridge OAL with several bullets.
Holy cow! This thing has a short throat! I cannot even seat Hornady Spire Points in the cannelure...I have to seat them past the cannelure just to get them to chamber.
Are all No 1 300 H&H chambers cut this short? I am going to have to have this thing reamed out. I am losing a bunch of ballistic potential seating the bullets so deep. Such a waste with a 26 inch barrel that can use gobs of slow burning powder!
My 375 H&H has a nice long throat. I can seat the bullets well past SAAMI specs.
Any feedback appreciated!
Tim
