[QUOTE="can1010, post: 2108537, member: 43193"] first you have to decide what is the max length you can get in your mag or going single shot. while .090 seems short you really need to keep that for a short action with a 2.9 mag but if using long action or singleshot you can throat it with a .225-.250 freebore. mine has a .228 and while good for bergers and some bullets in the 160-168 class bullets you really need .245-.250 for the elds. all the different bullets will end up 3.0 -3.150 oal. with the .225 and longer freebores. best bet is a dummy round at max mag length so your distance off lands will leave room in mag.
