Barrel throat depth question - Shilen

[mjphawk]

if your building a single feed rifle then id seat the bullet to where i had 0.020 or so of the boat tail/shank junction past the neck/shoulder junction and that would give you room to chase the lands and still have good neck tension as the throat burns out.

LongRange, thanks so much, this is exactly the information I was unsure of. The rest of clearly helpful as well in affirming that I was understanding what you were saying but I didn't have any concept as to how best to determine the seating depth.

Now I just need to wait for my shipment of Bergers to come in so I can load up some rounds and pick which I will be sending to Shilen.

Thanks so much for your patience and knowledge sharing.
