[QUOTE="CHIPLOAD, post: 518414, member: 22027"] Most blanks come 28+, or 30+ inch any longer usually special order. Turn tennon you loose inch. When crowning you run brushing in and find tight spot cut off there and crown. Some times in a half inch sometimes more. Better to loose 20 fps and have crown where it needs to be. Depending on how your smith indicates his chamber he prob cut some off chamber end too. Maybe he had a bad day and ran his reamer in a little deep and had to bump shoulder and nose cone ahead. Lots of reasons but I'm sure he did his best to get as close to what you wanted as he could. [/QUOTE]
