[QUOTE="taptap, post: 2108287, member: 35956"] Hi All, Almost ten years since I entered my details here, still a noob I'm afraid. I have a 300 Winchester magnum bolt rifle for which I want to reload. The internet tells me maximum cartridge length is 3.34" or almost 85mm metric. In my rifle, a Blaser R8, the bullet is nowhere near the lands. I can move (most) bullets out to at least a cartridge length of 3.40 without getting the bullet touching the lands, while still fitting the magazine and the bullet touching all of the inside of the neck of the cartridge. Would it be a problem to lengthen a cartridge this way? Surely the maximum cartridge length wasn't specified for no reason? I hope to learn from you. Regards, Bert [/QUOTE]
