[QUOTE="ncfyrfyter, post: 887574, member: 74498"] Hey everyone, new member here. I've read a lot of good info on here for years, but have now become a member so that I can join in on the discussions. I have been reloading for about 7 years and have had great success developing loads for all of my rifles. I am in somewhat of a dilemma with one right now though. I have a custom built 7mm STW, that has too much freebore to allow seating the bullet anywhere near the LANs. Max SAAMI is 3.600, and in order to seat the bullet .020 (personal preference) off the LANs, the OAL is 3.762. I've tried working up loads seating to the SAAMI specs, but cannot get any really good groups and the muzzle velocity is way lower than what it should be for what I'm loading. Would seating the bullet out that far cause any issues with anything other than not being able to use the magazine? [/QUOTE]
