RE: Shell casing length capability?
There is a portion of your bullet that is called the ogive or where it contacts your lands. It is some where on the rounded portion of your bullet.This area is where you space back from the lands. It is just another way of making your rifle accurate. This has to be done very accurate, if you get to close it can build high chamber pressures. It takes some shooting to get it right for your rifle.The comment about it having no practical use is very true for most hunting but for benchrest shooting or long range it is a must.

RE: Shell casing length capability?
Well, I figure I could do it so I could have more powder capacity? But I bet 250 grains could be fit in a 7mm shell... I don't know a whole too wealth of guns and ammo... And I assume my bullet is jacketed because the tip shows lead and the rest is copper. I'm wondering if maybe I should purchase a box of the silver ballistic tips and use them for big game instead.
I have been pondering the question of how well reloading would do for me, but I just bought my first rifle this year. I suppose I should wait a little and see how much I get into it. So I also guess taking advantage of that last bit of chamber is'nt going to make much of a difference. Cool, just a little bit more I learned and know now.
