So i have a new Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 and was looking forward to reloading for it and working up loads as i think i have gotten everything i can out of the old 8mm mauser sporter.
My problem is the lands seem so far away that the bullet would be bearly in the case. Ive read that remington is known for having "deep throats" so what are you guys doing (those that still have the deep throat factory barrel)?
I was hoping to work around the .02-.04 off the lands range but that puts me less than "one caliber" in the neck. Ive also read no less than 1/2 caliber in the neck though ive seen the one caliber rule more. What do yall do?
Im a firm believer in the lee factory crimp die for the old mauser as i have seen the groups tighten all the way up to but just before max crimp(when pedals touch, i leave just the slightest gap). My father has done the same test in his 308 and seen the opposite so i feel it depends on the gun.
So my thought is that if i crimp why have so much bullet in the neck? I would think neck tension on bullet would still be consistent.
Im working with sierra 180 and 200 gamekings.
