[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 3022620, member: 98025"] Are they “necessary”? No, however I’ve got an 80gr powder chamber in mine. The powders that I use (Benchmark, IMR 8208 XBR & H4895) all require powder charges MORE than 80 grains using 300 & 325 grain bullets…..which puts the bullet a little ABOVE the chamber. You DO NOT want the bullet inside the chamber the least little bit or you’ll have problems. The theory behind powder chambers is that a short, fat powder column will burn more efficiently than a long powder column and result in less “fouling”. I’m currently testing that theory 😎. [/QUOTE]
