Using the old method of checking chamber length (majic marker and fired brass) I came up with 2.500 for my 22-250. The bullets Im using (50gr V-Max) shows an O.A.L. of 2.350 in the reloading manuals. Thats .150 off the lands. To me that sounds pretty extreme.
So what is the usual clearance between lands and bullets? I know the type of bullets plays a major part but .150 just sounds extreme to me.
If I wanted the bullet .010 off the lands I would have to seat the bullets on the 50gr bullets to 2.490 which seems odd.
Is it me or do I suck at math?
BTW, I just ordered a Stoney Point set up for proper measurments today.
