Thanks Walt for the info. To elaborate more I do plan on doing load development as this is a precision rifle I put together. As of right now Im learning a lot of the reloading stuff. I guess i was wondering if it was more or less safe to start with that COAL as it chambered in my rifle.
So I have started to reload .308 and I am having issues getting an accurate measure of my chamber (using hornady gauge) in my Savage 10FP-SR. So I made some dummy rounds and if they chamber smoothly does the COAL matter. The dummy round is 2.905 and as far as I can tell no issue with chambering...
