[QUOTE="JamT, post: 1704189, member: 104670"] Hello gentleman. I currently have a Havak 6.5 PRC but it’s just not for me so started looking into a SAUM/GAP 4s. I kept coming across the same theme, that to take advantage of the latest high BC heavier bullets an intermediate action was the route to go. I’m wanting to go short action with a 24” barrel to keep things light and more packable for hunting. As luck would have it I saw a few folks mention the SS, which I hadn’t heard of before. Did a little research and messaged Rich on Facebook (I’m assuming it was him), but hadn’t come across this particular thread and glad I did. To get to the question, I’m not a fan of the eld’s so looking to stick with Berger. I like what I’m hearing about the 156 EOL’s but if my barrel doesn’t like them will I be able to load up the 140 hybrid target/hunters and still have the proper freebore to seat to the lands and chase them with throat erosion without running into COAL hitting mag length? Same question goes for the new heavier 6.5 bullets. I’m learning more as I go along but still get a bit confused when it comes to freebore, even though I know what it is. Thanks folks! [/QUOTE]
