RE:
The rifle we are talking about was manufactured in a way that it could chamber a round that is longer than others might be able to. So then it comes down to what manufacturer you are going to go to for data.
and:
For some, there is no published data to be had because their chambers aren’t made to any SAAMI spec.
I'm headed down that same slippery slope myself, mostly due to my own ignorance.
My current 223 barrel has a "VLD" chamber. (It was the only 1 he had in stock. He kept saying
VLD chamber when I bought it. I had no idea of what that really was, but I figured it must be special! LOL!)
Oh yeah, it's special alright.... I'm way, way, past Hornady's recommended OAL, and I still haven't hit the lands w/75gr ELD's.
Published data is a bit scarce once you "cross that SAAMI" line,,,. I never really intended to
cross that line myself, but
'here I am',,, might as well enjoy the ride!
