Flying W Ramrod Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Waiting for my new barrel for my Handi Rifle, it's a 30.06, and am getting anxious to reload for it. Anyone have this barrel and can tell me the chamber OAL? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Chamber specs are set by SAAMI. What exactly are you asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying W Ramrod Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 To get the overall length of my bullet I usually take an empty cartridge, expand the neck so the bullet fits snug, then insert the sizing round into the receiver and close it. The sizing round is longer than the chamber is so when the action closes, the bullet comes in contact with the lands and grooves and gets pushed into the cartridge. I open the action and carefully remove the cartridge and bullet, that's my OAL for a bullet for that gun. I want to see if my "pre-rounds" are close enough to load while waiting for the barrel to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
