Took some measurements tonight of my new rifle compared to my old rifle. The amount of distance to ogive is about the same between Savage Axis and my new Rem 700.
Rem 700 max ogive measurement was 2.3500, my current load measurement to ogive is 2.2200, which puts me .1300" off the lands and grooves. Yes that's not a typo, it's .1300 off the LNG.
Actually in my Savage, the reason I went with the OAL I did, was because it put me approx .05 off. So the distance in the Rem 700 is actually greater than it was with the Savage. Shouldn't that actually lower the pressure since I'm further off?
Thoughts....
