[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1964191, member: 109994"] Update: I prepped some brass for the new Tikka last night and also measured the max COAL for the bullet I plan to make a hunting load with. It is a 145gr Speer hot cor. So it's just a standard flat base cup and core bullet. The max COAL was crazy long!!!!! So long that it won't fit in the magazine. I know this bullet is a much different ogive shape than the 120gr SST that is in the Hornady reduced recoil cartridge, but I really don't think it would be so different that the Hornady cartridge bullet was being jammed into the lands. So, the gun may not have a short freebore after all. I won't know for sure until I buy some more of the Hornady cartridges so that I can measure the CBTO on them. So I'm not sure what else it could be. Maybe something to do with the chamber. I'll have to measure them and inspect them after chambering and ejecting without firing. [/QUOTE]
