[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 1767032, member: 41124"] Edd- I'm sure you are correct, you will loose more capacity by pushing the neck down vs. seating the bullet deeper. However, capacity is not the end all be all to me. I have seen a ton of cartridges where the more bullet that is sticking out of the cartridge the more accurate it is. I believe it is aligning the bullet in the throat better and it then engages the rifling more concentric to the bore. Think if you took a cleaning rod that wouldn't bend, and you put it in the muzzle of you barrel about two inches. You would probably be able to move the other end of the rod about 5 degrees in either direction (for example). Now, if you put 20" of the rod in the muzzle, you would only be able to move the other end of the rod about .5 degrees. Your bullets are the same way in the free-bore area of your chamber. Look at most bench rest cartridges for example. I will say these are almost exclusively "mid-volume" cartridges compared to their bore size, which I believe is the number one factor in knowing whether or not a cartridge will shoot, but also almost exclusively the bullet will be seated out in front of the cartridge very far. I don't know though, what do you other guys think? [/QUOTE]
