[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3054965, member: 101791"] With the change of bullet makeup and length of bullet. It seem hard to figure it out the length of chamber. Especially with finding a bullet you like. Being it's BC, weight, and how it does in putting down an animal. What the bullet does to the animal and blood shot areas. The older Nosler Partition bullet if I remember correctly velocity max was 2900fps. I tried some 100grs partition in my 25/06 a very long time ago. Bloodshot a deer from front shoulder to back of the ham on on side. I changed to Leed tips or now BT's and AB's and never had that problem again. Most of those are 3200 to 3300 fps muzzle veloctiy. I don't have the problem of blood shot animals any more. Very few take a 2nd shot to put down. That's generally is needed with poor shot placement. So back to freebore or throat length. I believe that not quite right. Freebore is somewhat different than chamber length. Freebore is a cone shape to reduce chamber pressures like WBY chambers, and added length in some rifles are the lands are somewhat a straight or square cut where the bullet enters into the lands. So either you have to bump the bullet back or extend it to create the jump needed for a more accurate round. Mag length comes into play at the same time. I use long action in my rifle builds to overcome some of those problems. I use my rifles to hunt with, so I don't want a single shot rifle either. We have talked about setting up a portable reloading station to adjust things at the range. I have figured out what I am going to use. and partly how it going to incorpate it into my range time. Take care my friend!:) [/QUOTE]
