[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 646314, member: 2736"] I set up all of my rifles to max mag length that the action will take -.020 and don't worry about specific bullet to land clearance, and find with proper load testing I can reduce group size to below 2/10ths MOA or better and still run Max powder charges without encountering max pressure. Chamber and head space "Must" be minimum dimension for this to work but it can be done. I find that Freebore and bullet jump can give me a very accurate and forgiving rifle that does not tax the action in order to get velocity. I am experimenting with a wildcat (Of my own design) and have already gone 6 grains over the max listed load of Retumbo for an Edge with no heavy bolt lift or primer flattening. My free bore in this chambering is .320 and all loads are just under 3.90 COAL. I do adjust the COAL slightly to achieve the best accuracy but i never exceed the max mag length. It is Just the way I set up my hunting rifles. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
