[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1846234, member: 2736"] The reason I like to shoot concentric ammo in my chambers is exactly that. freebore is not there to center the bullet, it is there to allow the bullet to start moving at ignition and start engraving with some movement, Ultimately, you could have 3 or 4 thousandths as long as the case centers the bullet in the bore. Many people seat the bullet against the lands to center the bullet and this is ok , but it increases the chamber pressure and negates the freebore function. The only reason the freebore is close to the bullet diameter is to aid in alignment of the bullet If it is not centered in the chamber or case before it engages the rifling. that is exactly what freebore does if the cartridge doesn't fit the chamber well from to much sizing. In a perfect world, everything would line up with the barrel bore and all tolerances would be .0000 including freebore. and all brass cases would be the same in every aspect. but it is not a perfect world and hardly anything is perfect, so cartridge designers have to allow for these differences and except the negatives along with the positives. Any time you design a cartridge, you must except the effect of this difference and weigh it against the attributes of going with a conventional design. so you end up with a compromise of pluses and minuses. I believe that the better everything is aligned with the bore, the more consistent it will be and to me consistency means accuracy. This is not only my opinion, it is my belief that everything needs to be as near perfect as possible and time spent to achieve it is not an issue. some find good accuracy with many different ways of doing things, but I find that time is not wasted in the quest for accuracy.:) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
