    Will any of the bigger ones fit in the chamber for the smaller ones ?

    Edit. It appears not but not looking for a 300blk/556 situation

    Somebody went the long way around to create the 30TC?

    What have we done to you sir?
     
    A .308 wont fit in a 6.5 Creedmoor, a 6.5 Creedmoor won't fit in a 6XC, a 6XC won't fit in a 22GT, just sayin.
     
    I can only see positive results with 7.62 expanding in length through the 556 barrel. I only see gains in BC from fireforming a 175 SMK .308 bullet in a 224 barrel

    Shhhhh! You're going to ruin my secret for the next PRS season (running a 30TC in a .243 chamber and .237/.243 barrel). By the time it exits, your typical 168 SMK has a G7 BC of over .5 with virtually no recoil.

    Just make sure you video your fireforming results, and post it on YouTube. 😄
