[QUOTE="edg1966, post: 1018162, member: 80823"] Now THAT is helpful information...Thanks Tom. The previous owner was shooting 225 TSXs and 250 Partitions, which I will be getting, but don't have in my possession. I used the Hornadys because didn't have access to those when loading up rounds for fire-forming/sighting...coupled with the fact that I'm too cheap to run expensive bullets through it when I'm probably not going to learn much anyway. I'll push them down in there and run them through, then switch to something better. I don't see much sense in re-chambering since once they are fire formed & I'm shooting what it is used to, the problem will be solved. I realize that the Whelen AI is probably the most useless AI ever made, but I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of the brass (using Lapua & Nosler). And, it's what I have so it's what I'm going to use...I'm Norwegian and stubborn! While researching my dilemma last night I saw some pictures of WAI rounds loaded with Accubonds...clearly there is a lot more bullet ahead of the ogive so I'm sure different bullets will give me more OAL. I curse the Hornadys, but like my buddy says...watch out, they may perform better than anything else. I seriously doubt that with a 1:12 twist...maybe I should change that too! [/QUOTE]
