[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1674894, member: 27307"] I'm sorry this thread got sideways. It's an idea worth pursuing. I had a request to use lighter bullets in a rifle I was chambering for the 28 Nosler. I immediately switch to the 140 grain Berger VLD and 143 grain Hammer Hunter. Both function very well in the standard chamber using the standard length magazine box. No custom reamer, no custom throating, no excessive jumping but lots of good slow (cool burning) powders yielding an excellent combination for the serious hunter. You can't accomplish this when the chamber is set up for the heavy for caliber bullets only. There's nothing wrong with shooting the lighter bullets, they will harvest game also. Just a different way to approach a question.;) [/QUOTE]
