[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1459488, member: 2736"] My personal preference in shank length is to be at least the case body long, so the cartridge body is well supported and I start the transition to barrel contour at the body shoulder length. This also includes the barrel Thread Tenon inside the action. So if you have a cartridge that has a body length of 2'', that will be the minimum total shank used ( This is from the breach end of the barrel to the transition to the barrel contour before threading and chambering begins) This is just a rule of thumb and is not written in stone.
