[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 505411, member: 2736"] I would not recommend letting the freebore exceed the body length of the bullet you want to use. so it has not left the neck completely before engaging the rifling. There are exceptions but that is the general rule I use if possible. As I said earlier, I'm not sure what the point is that excessive freebore could cause problems but there has to be a practical limit. But I do know that no freebore can cause excessive pressure if not accounted for (Less Powder than with freebore). A Minimum freebore would be .120 on a high pressure/magnum round but .020 thousandths bullet jump will keep you out of trouble with standard cartriges with recommended loads. But if you are looking for max velocity the .120 freebore would be my lower limit. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
