[QUOTE="Innovative, post: 331854, member: 527"] boomtube ..... [FONT=Arial]Finding the optimum OAL for maximum accuracy usually requires you to reduce the distance that the bullet travels before it contacts the rifling. This also helps maintain concentric alignment between bullet and the bore, so that your bullet gets a good start down the barrel. Setting the OAL correctly for your "particular" chamber is the cheapest accuracy improvement there is. Experienced shooters know that this is one step to improve rifle accuracy. The optimum length of accurate handloads will almost always be quite a bit longer than factory loads. Do your reloading at the shooting bench . . . . or al least seat your bullets there.
