I had the 'smith take a piece of left over barrel, and had him run the reamer in to 1/2 shoulder, so I would have a comparator of sorts. I had forgotten about this piece until now.
When I drop a 220 SMK into the comparator, it seals very well. Its like a cork, I can't blow anything past it.
The bullet also goes in very deep. Seating depth for "touching the lands" is 2.270". I'm seating to 2.089" = a 0.181" jump to the lands.
Should I try a 2.240 depth = 0.030" jump? This would still barely fit a AR mag, but no problem in the Savage, as its a single shot. The downside is that my case volume would increase- -but I'm willing to try anything at this point.
