[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1292639, member: 30592"] I think loading a 215 or 230 gr Berger at an OAL of 2.8 inches creates an undesirable situation. You only have about 1/8" of the neck contacting the bullets bearing surface. But it is the back part of the case neck that is making contact. You have pushed the bearing surface down inside the case neck so far the front half of the case neck is not contacting the bullet. The bullet has to jump .175" before it even gets to the chamber throat. Then it has to go another .200" before it makes contact with the lands. [/QUOTE]
