[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 839522, member: 25383"] when you move into overbore cartridges you start to reduce barrel life and built in accuracy, plus they seem to get a little finicky with their loads. The Jaybird is about it with the .224 caliber, and it's overbore till you get past 75 grains. The 22-243 family are well known barrel burners mostly due to their shoulder neck design. That's the one serious advantage the Jaybird has over the others. Uses a 35 degree shoulder with a .300" neck length. I'd rather have had a 30 degree shoulder, but that's just me (less of a doughnut problem than the 40 degree shoulder). You can have a huge case capacity, but you simply can't burn all that powder with a more common length barrel. Plus the Hogdon manual has loading data in it. gary [/QUOTE]
