Not right . From a 2.850 I'm still jumping
.10 to the lands with the rdf. Doesn't matter the length, what does matter is the profile of the particular bullet.
The baring surface is shorter.
Retarded and dangerous?
I have used this load for almost 3 years.
There have been NO ill effects in my rifle.
I think you paint with a broad brush?
Thats not to say your wrong in any way!
I guess I didn't explain my loads the way I should have?

running 8208xbr I'm getting 2670 with 175 RDF's out of a Savage MSR 1O LR with a 20" barrel.
Bullets are seated long 2.850 +/- and fit in magazine. Averaging 1 moa.

Guess I'm just Blessed!
I do like how the berger's fly
