[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 975338, member: 22069"] The Cutting Edge bullets will typically load to very long OAL's vs a standard cup and core bullet. Because of their bore rider design, nothing ahead of the driving band touches the rifling. I have noted up to .300"+ difference in OAL to the rifling between CE bullets and a standard bullet of the same weight. Most of the long range oriented bullets that Cutting Edge makes are designed for single feed. The beauty of it is, using the CE bullets doesn't require a given rifle to be turned into a specialized setup by cutting a long custom throat. The CE's work well from a standard chamber, still allowing optimal velocity and accuracy with conventional bullets. The CE's biggest downside is that they are expensive. Being able to use cheaper bullets for practice without loss of accuracy is a big plus. I suppose I took the long way around to tell you that you will likely find your OAL limitation in your #1 to be significantly longer with a Cutting Edge MTH or Lazer. [/QUOTE]
