[QUOTE="big wally, post: 750411, member: 57995"] Yes i was talking about bottleneck cases namely 17A/H and 22"K"Hornet, Althouh i have been a re-loader for about 30 years have not gone that deep into it i load very conservitly I started with a 222 then a 22H then a 243 back to hornet and nown 17A/H and thinking about a 22"K" now. My 17A/H is a Ruger 77/22H ALL WEATHER that i changed to a switch barrel gun. When i was using the standered 22H my best accuracy was when loaded to touch with 35V/Max at COAL of 1.830" but the magazine took a max of 1.808" but for proper feeding 1.8"was best I now want to use the 22H barrel again as a (K,d )hornet so i am looking at ways to shorten the freebore to alow me to load to touch and magazine fed rounds I canot touch the reciever or bolt cause that is set up for NIL head/rim space with my 17 /H I hope to remove some of the shoulder on the barrel to alow me to screw it in a complete turn to alow the extractor slot to line up and then remove metal from the chamber face to set up my rim space and of course this will shorten the case length ( about 60 thou i think) so hopefully i can get a smith to use a (K )ream to put a normal length chamber in without putting a Ruger lenth freebore in. Hopefully this will give me a rifle that takes a factory round to blow out to K Hornet and alow me to load from the magazine whilst loading out to touch. You lads have a lot more experiance than me amd as i dont have a proper reliable smith within 100 miles of me i need to get idea,s off you Do you think it will work. Wally [/QUOTE]
