[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1959891, member: 101791"] To start with I respect your input greatly. Still looking at the 6mmIA or the 6mm/284. Bolt face being .470+/-. 20 years ago I ran into a problem with my 308 Norma Mag in a mauser 98 action. The COAL was longer than mag opening would allow the round to feed into the chamber. So I shorten the COAL and when on. Never thinking about it again, but remembering the problem. Now looking at a 6mm build. I am concern about the COAL, because of the longer bullets being used today in longer range shooting and that fine. It's the feed from the mag to the chamber is my concern is about. I generally use slower burning powders in my rifles so my cases are filled up close to the neck. I am looking from 105 grs. to 115 grs bullets to use in that 6mm with a 1-7.5 twist rate. My concern is the COAL and feed from the mag to the chamber and stay away from a highly compacted load. P>S. I down loaded your info on bolt faces too. Thanks SSS MIke [/QUOTE]
