So just finished remeasuring my lands after sizing my brass for headspace and it seems like the measurement I am getting for CTBO is really short and the OAL is short as well.
We are talking like 2.620 CTBO for land contact and 3.249 OAL. Does this seem too short? Perhaps just the bullet...
Yeah I agree. I would like to compare the two, but I don’t have the oal guage. I did the method on a Tikka 7RM. Would love to hear what others are measuring for this rifle bullet combo.

Looking to go a different route and am willing to part with this rifle. Its a left handed Tikka T3 in 7mm stainless steel, 24.5" barrel with APA micro bastard muzzle brake. Rifle has approximately 60 factory rounds through it and 50 hand loads. Rifle shoots great and is in like new condition...
I bought this ve25 a few months ago and have decided it's an awesome tent, but I think it's too hefty for my needs. Looking to find something easier to pack. The wife might beat me up for this one because she loves it. Makes her feel secure and all. Looking to sell right now, but I am in the...
