[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 449907, member: 25383"] first of all there is no such thing as a .284AI, but it needed to be done. Ackley almost always used .010" taper per inch with a 40 degree shoulder. You already have a 35 degree shoulder, and a similar amount of taper. The best thing that could happen to the case is to shove the shoulder back about .06" to give the bullet something better to seat in. Plus it totally keeps the flame path inside the neck to promote a better barrel life. I think you'd be better served with the .280AI if your planning on the use of very long bullets. Of course you could also use a 7x57AI and get virtually the same results as with the .280AI. These rounds will fit the magazine better also Also note that a 26" barrel is about the max length you'll ever need in the 30-06 case. You'd probably be just fine with a 24" barrel, and group a little more consistently. gary [/QUOTE]
