Perhaps this should be "length of your bullet" but here goes. ( i have also posted a similar, but more geared to handloading in the handloading forum.) In the handloading forum, I am inquiring as to preferred COL measurements and anomalies with my hand loads , here the question is more specific to the physical attributes of the guns chamber.
BTW, my gun is in .223 Remington and this is my first bolt long gun.
Question: What sort of ammo are you using in your 12FV, and have you noticed bullets hitting the rifling? I am thinking this is based a somewhat short chamber in this gun?
Anyone measured chamber length on this gun? I have a RCBS precision micrometer (which I like) and it came with a little fake adjustable "bullet" to do this, but that thing is useless. Maybe someone has measured a factory round then chambered a round and then re measured? Or noticed high pressure signs on otherwise high quality ammo?
Anyone actually measured the chamber, etc? This sort of info would be valuable to me in getting this gun prepared to shoot. I am noticing some anomalies to my handloaded rounds, but that is addressed in the handloading thread.
Any help much appreciated,
Russellc
