[QUOTE="ballistx, post: 926435, member: 32156"] What I am trying to figure out is how much freebore is really being applied. This is with the Nosler 55 grain SHOTS bullet. It is only 0.595" long. There is only 0.175" (4.32mm) from the base to the beginning of the ogive. Inserting 3mm (0.122") into the case leaves only 0.053" from the front of the case to the beginning of the ogive. The freebore on my four 243's is 0.445", 0.205", 0.217" & 0.248" (front of case to beginning of lands). With 0.240 buried in the case, my 55 grain SHOTS bullets are set at 0.520", 0.270", 0.282" & 0.313" from the lands. I'm still not able to get to the range but have a number of these loaded up to try as soon as I can. Can't change much on how I am loading. Will just see what the results will be. [/QUOTE]
