[QUOTE="ThrdKllr, post: 1679717, member: 110734"] Even if you got the headspace set the same, your distance to the lands could be different. Not a problem if you load a short one in the long one but could be bad reversed. About the only way to have the lead the same length is to ream it with the same reamer. My Manson reamer has a .199 freebore and my factory Savage barrel had to have.225 according to the measurements I got. I use Lapua brass in my Savage and Hornady and Starline in my Bartlein barrel.
