I have been building things out of wood as my day job the last 15 years, and unfortunately this is not true. Kiln dried wood does move with moisture changes. There are charts that tell you how much each species of wood will grow or shrink based on the moisture content of the wood, and I have...

7 SAUM or 284.

Any bullet works if you are going to shoot an animal in the spine. What we are looking for in a hunting bullet is both reliable penetration and reliable expansion.

i have a 7 SAUM using Remington brass and the necks on loaded rounds measure .315. I would personally want at least .004 clearance-I am just not sure there is enough benefit to going tighter but I could be wrong.
