By mistake I loaded up some 7mag rounds at 3.35" OAL. I wondered why they wouldn't load in the gun easily, I thought I just hadn't bumped the shoulder back enough, so tough to fit. But the groups from those loads are still the best I have gotten.....like 1/2 MOA. I recently measured the actual overall length with the bullets touching the lands at 3.312", so the bullets are sitting .038" into the lands. And the loads that I've chambered and pulled out......sure enough, the bullets are all scuffed up from the lands.
Anyway, anybody get good accuracy doing this? Haven't seen any pressure signs at all. I'm using a max load of H1000....69.5gr with the 168gr Berger Classic Hunter.
