[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1750620, member: 96226"] Concerned about what exactly? You've got a potential issue but not a definite one. First thing I'd do is see where each one likes ammo set up as far as jump / CBTO. If you can get 1 load spec to work well in both rifles and you either plan to full length size every time or the chambers are otherwise similar enough to allow sharing of brass, then you're all good. I have a few sets of rifles that share brass. My strategy for that is to have the chambers cut with the same reamer by the same smithy in blanks of the type & manufacturer and then to set the guns up for zero headspace. That allows me portability of ammo between guns. Interestingly, doing it that way I only really have to bother developing a load on one gun and then just verifying it shoots acceptably in the other. I also get to neck size only without issues. [/QUOTE]
