[QUOTE="H59, post: 1460818, member: 105268"] Actually none of that is correct. Neck length has nothing to do with freebore,or setting the bullets coal etc. Unless I misunderstood what you meant.The main reason I even mentioned it was we were talking about twist rate. The overall length of the 150 smk round will be extremely longer than than say 147eldm if you're going to run them at 20 thousandths off lands b/c of the base to ojive measurements. That would most likely cause the overall length of the round to be longer than magazine length. That's why I mentioned that you would probably want to set things up from the beginning to cut the chamber for the 150's. A chamber to run the 150's at say 20 thousandths off with a coal of 2.840" would have the 147's way jammed at the same coal& probably (w/o measuring bullet lengths right this sec) would be jammed even at 2.800" . So b/n mag length and twist rate being higher,you probably would setup the gun from the start just to run the smk150's is what I was saying. [/QUOTE]
