[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 1156140, member: 41124"] "Mr. Nailer"- Thanks a bunch, that's what I was looking for. Not to change the subject too much, but it has been my experience that a "well designed" cartridge (i.e. easy to load for with a variety of powders, and usually extremely accurate) has a few key features: 1. A case capacity that ends up being a slightly compressed max load with a slow powder such as H-1000 or Retumbo. 2. Bullet loaded close to the lands, but also seated out of the cartridge enough so that only the boat tail is below the neck. Or with a flat base bullet is even with the bottom of the neck. 3. Also, I like to have at least 90% of a bullet diamter seated in the beck of the cartridge. (Good examples: any of the PPC's, 6.5 Creedmoore, 7mm GT (one of mine), .223 with heavy bullets seated long, .308 win, just a few off the top of my head.) Like I said not to change the subject too much, but I always like to get other wildcatter's opinions and hear their ideas! I would humbly suggest a new "tag line" as well: "One ragged hole, at ever increasing distances, the quest for accuracy continues." Sorry to bend your ear, thanks again! [/QUOTE]
