[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 405151, member: 12282"] But it still leaves me with the problem of COAL and magazine length issues, right? Especially if useing long VLD bullets? I know that I could have it short throated, but the problem is that I don't really know what my final projectile will be -- its a hunting gun..... And I am too lazy to fireform all those cases. I didn't mention that in my first post, but I view fireforming as a waste of my time and my barrel. I used to have enough spare time that I enjoyed trips to the range "just because" but now I have so little spare time, that my range visits are rare and I view them as a necessary evil to get my guns in shape. Kinda sad...... In fact, part of my decision to build a custom gun is based on the realization that I have more money at this point of my life than I have time to futz with a finicky old 25-06. I really want a gun that I make a half dozen trips to the range and have a great load worked up. That never happened with the old 25-06. Thanks for all the great ideas so far.... [/QUOTE]
