[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2463554, member: 71221"] Don’t overthink it. Bullet jump can be the same regardless of cartridge overall length. In my experience cartridges like my 264 Win Mag perform as good if not better with “custom” chamber dimensions and a custom reamer. SAAMI standards have to ensure that the ammo will shoot in all chambers and is not the best most of the time. As I said in one of my earlier posts, if you are going through the time and expense to build a custom rifle, you should customize it. In my opinion if you are going to stick with SAAMI standards just save yourself the headache, time and expense and just buy a nice factory rifle. Below is a picture of my 264 Win Mag improved cartridge compared to a SAAMI 264 Win Mag cartridge. [ATTACH type="full"]346483[/ATTACH] Your 26 & 28 Nosler will be similar to the SAAMI cartridge on the right since it will be seated to the same length. The below image is my target shot while fire-forming the SAAMI cartridge into the improved cartridge but with the bullet seated to the longer length. There is no accuracy loss that I can see and the modified cartridge will perform at a level that the original cartridge never dreamed of. [ATTACH type="full"]346484[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
