[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1083015, member: 11960"] I really believe that you're over thinking this. The reamer that you have in your hands will give you excellent velocities and be just as capable of hitting deer sized targets at pretty much any range that the cartridge and shooter are capable of making hits at. If you were planning to compete in bench rest matches it may make a difference, but not in a hunting gun. Extending out the lead as far as you have it in the last print can cause premature throat erosion in addition to making it difficult to shoot some bullets seated to the lands. I'm always reluctant to design a chamber around one bullet. I've done it, but it was a gamble. What happens if that particular bullet just won't shoot for you? Then you may not be able to hang your second choice bullet out there far enough to find the sweet spot from the lands. Also consider that it will be difficult to adjust seating depth as the lands do start to erode if the bullets are already hanging out as far as they can. Andrew [/QUOTE]
