[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 835527, member: 23486"] I'm not a bullet builder/designer/manufacturer so maybe i'm way off but.... Increased Bearing surface increases pressure & fouling right? If pressure goes up quicker than normal, you're not going to achieve the amount of velocity you can with a bullet of shorter bearing length (all other variables being the same). As long as the velocity loss isn't substantial, ok, I guess. If it is, say, just unreasonably long, you're going to fowl the crap out of your barrel quickly while dropping velocity to a useless state. Bore riders have far less bearing surface that conventionals & work just fine, why increase the contact surface at all? I understand that velocity isn't everything but it is still quite necessary, at least in my eyes.' t [/QUOTE]
