[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1049816, member: 48043"] As this is more a reloading than 'smithing question I'd post there but with more specifics. I'd mention your cartridge oal, your rifle's max. oal (before the bullet jambs the rifling), the max mag length, etc.. I can't help with an "it jambs" unless I've got enough specifics to help you get going in the right direction. Personally, I'd set your ammo to 2.810" (standard saami oal) and do a charge run up there to see if she shoots. Long seating bullets at best has only a bit of benefit on certain designs of bullet that require a bit more tuning. Even those (berger vld as an example) can shoot jumped just fine with a bit of work. I'm blowing berger 168 vld's out of my 7rum with 95 gr rl50 with a .300" jump and netting a .65 moa average group. I think you'll have trouble even trying to get that kind of jump on your 308. [/QUOTE]
