[QUOTE="Tater1985, post: 606961, member: 38019"] UPDATE: I went to my buddy's last night, he is still not done working on the gun. But I went over to get the measurements I needed for reloading. I took the bolt out and used my OAL guage and dummy case with a Berger VLD to check the MAX OAL to the ogive. I took several measurements to check and recheck myself. 2.707" 2.716" 2.725" 2.727" 2.725" 2.725" I'm not sure if their was some fouling that was giving me short readings for the first few or what, but I feel pretty confident that 2.725" is a repeatable measurement to the lands. My plans right now are to make up these loads using H-1000 to try: 4 @ 66.0gr/2.715" 4 @ 67.0gr/2.715" 4 @ 68.0gr/2.715" 4 @ 69.0gr/2.715" 4 @ 70.0gr/27.15" (I did measure a factory HSM cartridge OAL to the ogive and it was 2.645" and when in the mag it looked to easily have 0.125"-0.150" clearance, so the this would equate to approximately 2.770" max mag length, so I should ok with whatever length I load as far as mag length.) Once I find a safe max or a real shooter I will probably try the same charge at 2.695", 2.675" and 2.655" to see if any shoot better with more jump to the lands. [/QUOTE]
