Hey 25ers,
Finally purchased an OAL gauge and measured for several .224" bullets I'm loading. Is it just me, or does the Model 25 have a rather tight/short chamber? One bullet I tried, a 63gr Sierra, wound up hitting the lands at an OAL of 2.185, which is well below where the load books generally call OAL (2.260) on average for a 63gr bullet.
Any similar experiences? I don't see this as any real issue; just trying to make sure I'm not crazy.
Thanks.
