[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 518579, member: 2736"] I see what your talking about and agree, but I changed directions a few years ago to avoid all of the issues with mag length and bullets seated long and found that with proper chambering and standard bullet seating, an extended mag was not nessary in order to get good velocity and accuracy. Most of the new High pressure/velocity cartriges have lots of free bore and in order to make them shoot well some changes in philosophy was nessary. I no longer design/build rifles around a certain bullet,special seating depth,extended magazine, special neck diameter and other special things. and have found that the standard cartriges can be made to shoot extremely accurate. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of doing any of these things , just saying that with all of the new components and tools for reloading that are available we no longer have to modify cartriges in order to make them shoot well. If a person wants velocity, case capacity is the way to get it. seating the bullets long does not increase case capacity as much as simply going to a larger case seated to the standard mag length. When trying to get the "Most" out of a case an extended mag will help but only if there are special needs. Not trying to start an argument just trying to offer some options to the original poster who stated that he was not impressed with the shorter cases (Apparently he would like a little more velocity). In a short action. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
