[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 928978, member: 41122"] Yes that is correct. Free bore is the amount of "bore" a rifle has before the rifling starts. Ive seen this measured from the bolt face, from the end of the neck of the case, and from the start of the bore to the start of the rifling. Like you just did for the said print. However the actual amount of free bore a rifle has is quite useless, like mikes comment stated. From a reloading standpoint the importance of freebore is its relation to your bullet. What COAL does my bullet contact the rifling? Once this is known you can properly load for a rifle with the knowledge of how far your bullet is jumped/jammed? [/QUOTE]
