So monday i called shilen and they had a blank in stock so i ordered it as they said 8-10wks plus i wanted a custom 260 barrel chambered for the long 140g bullets i shoot with slower powders and not have such compressed loads.

Ive already sent shilen some dummy rounds but im wondering.... is there such a thing as to much free bore?
The dummys i sent in are 139g lapuas seated at 2.405 off the ogive for a COAL of 2.955 touching the lands which leaves .250 + seated in the neck not counting the boat tail...with these measurements i will have no problems with seating any of the 3 bullets as i spent a couple of hours checking and rechecking...so what are your thoughts?
