About to order 7-08AI barrel from preferred barrels, they have .060” free bore which seems short. Plan on shooting 162 eld-m’s maybe 150 eld-x’s. But was wondering if yall know about* how far I will be able to seat them out? Id like to be around 2.880” oal or so. Thanks in advanced
 
somewhat unrelated but the 7SAW(basically a neckdown and improved 308palma) has a .050 and .150 freebore option corresponding to roughly 2.85 and 2.95 (binder versus no-binder) coal at roughly touching depending on bullet selection

.060 seems right to me based on that

i'd want the extra .100 though and use non binder mags
