[QUOTE="just country, post: 1264338, member: 82689"] morning, I am putting a stick in the mud. correct me if I am wrong. each bullet maker starts the ogive(ojive) on a the bullet depending on the weight of the bullet, whether match grade, hunting or other at a precise place when mass producing the bullets. a shooter can have a smithy cut the cartridge chamber to a specific length. a shooter can have a short or long chamber to shoot a specific makers bullet. the shooter can have the barrel maker to produce a barrel to a specific twist to handle a specific weight bullet. I had a 7mm weatherby made Hart barrel, straight contour, #7 weight finished to 28in. SS the smithy ask me to produce a dummy round to cut the chamber to a specific bullet length. I shoot 145gr. TTSX bullets for the 7mm or .284cal. instead of cutting the chamber to a standard length, the smithy cut the chamber to a weatherby free bore length. I read the loaded length of the cartridge. set my loading mic gauges to the dummy cartridge length. brand new barrel shot .750 group. now working on the precise powder charge, powder, and mic length. THK U lightbulb:)gun) Barnes shooter, no excuse for weatherby have 3. just me [/QUOTE]
