[QUOTE="Swamplife, post: 1113240, member: 35976"] I took a guess and throated my 7LRM long and the bearing/boat tail junction on the 195's are .040 up from the neck/shoulder junction. So in my case I'm loosing nothing. If your reamer is set for 180vlds or hybrids. I don't think the lost will be much, especially if you have the 180's set with the bearing/boat tail junction above the doughnut area. If you don't have a reamer yet, then add .070-.080 to the 180 Hybrid freebore recommended for your caliber. If your already throated for 180's, I'd run'em first before making a change. The 7LRM has a neck lenght of .387 so I have a lot of room to play with. With some other shorter neck cases you won't be able to throat for 195's and still have enough case neck to safely run 180's up close to the lands. So there would need to be a compromise if you wish to run both 180's and 195's. Me personally I don't like to be restricted to one size bullet and that is why I selected a cartridge with such a long case neck to begin with. Darren [/QUOTE]
