[QUOTE="kai, post: 1442781, member: 98994"] This will be my first custom rifle and custom chamber so I'm looking for any information that will help to educate me on the chamber (throat) specs and what length magazine I should be using. The ARC Nucleus action needs to run a magazine so a BDL is not an option for this build. I've heard that some custom 28 Noslers with the 195 Berger EOL have a COAL of 3.750... much longer than the SAMMI spec. I'd like to load the bullets out longer than the SAMMI specs and still have enough length in the magazine to load the bullets out longer to "chase the lands" as they erode. I'd like to run the ELD Match 180 grain bullet and am looking for comments on the optimum Cartridge OverAll Length that others are using. Some say that the throat erodes about .010" every 100 shots. With that in mind I'm looking for comments on how deep the bullets should be set into the case for a freshly chambered barrel knowing that the COAL will be increased over time as the throat erodes. Then I'll need to select a magazine that has enough extra length to allow for loading the bullets out longer to chase the lands. I'm not sure that the Nucleus action will accept the AICS extra long mag with an interior length of 3.850". The Berger 195 bullet has a length of 1.663" and it measures .838" from the tip to the ogive. The ELD-M 180 has a bullet length of 1.550" and it measures .802" from the tip to the ogive. This suggests that the COAL with the ELD-M 180 will be shorter than with the Berger 195. I'm wondering if the AICS mag with the internal length of 3.775 will be long enough for the ELD-M 180 loaded out to optimum length and allowing for throat erosion over time. [/QUOTE]
