When I load it being 20 mil off of lands, I get this (2.1890" COL). That leaves me very little room for powder. At 29 gr of CFE 223 and 28 gr of TAC it is getting compressed already.
I am going to the range on Fri to see what happens. My GS told me if needed he will add another 50-60 thou to the throat. Not sure if that is a good idea.
That seems a little short in the throat none of the 6.5 barrels (5) are that short in the throat. I think you need to bump it a little more. My BHW 6.5 G barrel is the tightest throat and the coal for the 95 vmax which is the fattest ogive at .020 off 2.212
