Hi
I have a standard trg22 with the 26 inch barrel shooting the 185 bergers. The rifle has quite a long freebore and at OAL of 2.94 inches I am still at least 30 thou off the lands.
I have been experimenting with seating the 185 out quite a bit, but am concerned about how much of the case neck should be engaging the bullet. At 2.94 OAL I have about 60% of the length of the 308 case neck gripping the bullet. Is this enough? I am getting really good ES with this load, but want to check that I am not missing something somewhere.
Thanks
Jaco
