    Posting question

    Complicated length question

    Ok, everytime I try and ask someone they either don't understand what I'm asking or I get different answers. .308 I have many different boxes of 168smk bullets, each a different lot. What I have found using the hornady OAL gauge is that each box touches the rifling at different lengths. As...
