Got a package from Fort Shaw

[ss7mm]

Kirby:

That's great news about the stock showing up. Did they get the pattern right?

Go ahead and use the dies all you need to. I may have to make a trip to Plains to rattle Dan's cage. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I stand corrected sounds like you are putting those fire forming loads to good use. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Your alarm and video system? Sheesh sounds like you have those Wildcats under lock and key. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif That stock you bought is kick *** you have good taste. Good luck with your rifle and let us know when you smack something with it.

out of curiosity, what is everyone running for loaded round neck clearance on these 270 and 7 AM's?

 

[Fiftydriver]

Dave,

My loaded ammo neck diameters are a follows:

270 AM
loaded neck diameter: 0.3105"
Chamber neck diameter: 0.3135"

7mm AM
Loaded Round Neck Diameter: 0.3180"
Chamber Neck Diameter: 0.3210"

These chambers are designed to offer 0.003" total cleanance(0.0015" bullet release) upon firing. This is about as tight as I recommend in a big game rifle designed for accuracy with this level of intensity using these very long and heavy ULD bullets.

It also allows for some neck thickness variation without getting into pressure problems.

These are big game rounds designed for that use so they do not have "tight" throats. Still they are plenty tight for fine accuracy performance but also safe reliable use in the field.
