Is a .030 Jam to much?

Yes No Maybe, how are we supposed to comment on such a broad question.

Allow me to coach you young grasshoppa. Your answer could be along the lines of the second reply to this thread.
All I was looking for was ....... some rifles like it, most don't or maybe is it safety issue.
I'm sure I've read before of some loads jammed on in the rifling this much especially hndy AMAX's
But, as a general rule will a jam this much cause early throat wear and are folks who load this much into the rifling seeing any negative effect?

Re: .030 JAM

As was already stated "Grasshoppa" Maybe yes maybe no, each barrel is a world unto itself.
No amount of jamb should have any effect on throat erosion, that would have to do more with what powder your using and how hot you run your loads.
Only way to find out is try them in and out varying amounts. I use a lot of Berger VLD's and have found more often than not that they shoot best with a bit of jump usually around .010 to .020. HTH

Re: .030 JAM

The only problem I've ever had with jamming bullets is that they have a tendency to hold on to the bullet when you run the bolt. This sucks when you've only got a coupla .010" holding the bullet in the neck and you extract a case only to find X amount of powder dumped into your action.

Re: .030 JAM

Thanks for the info. My rifle seems to like a long one stuck down its throat. I'm sure the rest of you guys can relate...........

But no seriously, the answer I was looking has been given. Thanks again
