I've got a custom 7mmRemExp.
I finally got around to working up a load. I'm loading 140gr BalTip.
Got my length touching the rifling like I always do, loaded the 1st shell .015" off that. It was over .2" longer than a factory shell. Plus it wouldn't even come close to fitting in the blind mag well.

Plan B load to fit the mag well. No biggie. Ran into it several times over the years.

The twist is 1:9
Was it chambered for heavier bullets?
What's the purpose of cutting a longer than the well chamber?

I believe I'll be able to make it shoot without any issues. It did solid 1" @ 100yds with factory Vor-tx ammo.

Thanks for any help with my pondering.
