[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 3008805, member: 121268"] Technically its the other way around, you pick your bullet based on your chambers freebore. Experience and personal preference. I like to start my load development at -.020" off the lands. But this is dependent on the length of the bullet I want to use and what the actual freebore in the chamber was machined to by the gunsmith or mfg. A longer bullet needs a longer chamber freebore. If your chambers freebore isnt long enough for the bullet, it will stick too far inside the case limiting your powder charge and its not really ideal to use. [/QUOTE]
