Hey Guys,

I used the Stoney Point gauge to check the distance to the lands on my rifle with a 180gr bullet, specifically a Nosler Accubond and the bullet was maybe 4 finger nails inside the case. So something like a half inch or just over.

Is this shocking to anyone to have that much free bore in a rifle?

Is this typical of Rugers?

Could this cause excessive chamber pressure?

Could this cause issues if the bullet wasn't exactly centered in the brass?

Looking for some info as to why Ruger would head space a barrel so far out. Or any other company for that matter.

Thanks

Tom
