and throat .314 bore and .3145 throat I couldn't be happer as I have a box of .323 lubed with molly lube and sized down to .315 through a .314 Lee sizer. Now all I am waiting for is my dies and brass.
Went to Acadamey sports and went crazy bought a box of Remington 180g core locked for $30.30 and was going to try them but I can't just sight it in with $1.55 a shot ammo, so I will wait and use them if I go hog hunting.

Freightman, did you have to size the nose of your boolt, too?

not on the 175 g but I have a KBR 240+ g I have to size even for my Mauser and Hakim. When I do it still doesn't want to feed in my Turk all the time but will in my Hakim, go figure.
Loaded some of the 175g up worked fine in the military Enfield, but will not go in the sporterized one at all so I used a Lee .312 for it and it worked fine, it ha a very tight chamber and throat slugged .311 and the bore was .310 instead of the .314.5 of the other.
Lesson learned slug each bore they are not nessarly the same even on same model rifles.
