[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 1461280, member: 13732"] The lead angle is aggressive, more so than any the nosler/ultra mag cases. I know guys who run them fast are usually running 0.230-.290 freebore which increases you powder capacity greatly reducing pressures. The bearing surface and BTO on the hornady bullets is generally a good bit longer than compared Bergers, which also makes pressure. If you don't have room, install a wyatt's box, and then ream the freebore by approximately another 0.05" and at the same time change lead angle to 1.5° or so. Only downfall is you'll be limiting bullet choices and throat wear will be faster. Keep the rifle cool, shot strings @ 3 rounds, cool between. I've read of guys chasing the lands up to 0.015 per 100 rounds when shot with hot barrel long strings. [/QUOTE]
