[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 1795074, member: 74670"] I think I'm going with a 0.200 Freebore which will allow me the option to shoot Hornady 143gr ELD-X, Berger 140 gr Elite Hunter and Nosler 142gr Accubond Long Range bullets. The Nosler bullets have a very long Boat Tail that limits how far it can stick out of the case. Using the measurement method I shared before the ABLR comes out with a FB of 0.202. If I didn't want this option and was going with just the Hornady ELD-X I could go with a FB of 0.252 to 0.262. However I want to see which of the three bullets shoot best out of this rifle and then I will go with that one. I wonder though if I should be adding 0.020 for bullet jump. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
