Well, I may have to stick with J-word boolits for hunting purposes in my '92 .357 mags since they are cut to SAAMI specs and have that "forcing cone type" throat.
I do have a .35 Whelen which is nothing more than a Savage 110 with an Adams & Bennet bbl on it. I'm guessing that has a SAAMI spec chamber too.
Well, I've done a little tinkering with paper patching with that one too but have not found anything that rivals j-word accuracy. I'm wondering if my problem may be the chamber neck is longer than the case necks. SAAMI chambers are 2.52" from head to neck while the cases are 2.494". Often my re-formed .30-06 brass are quite a bit shorter than 2.494 - more like 2.484"
That can be a total of .036" of neck before getting to the throat. Any way to correct this?
I suspect this may be ruining my accuracy because I occasionally find little paper rings falling out of my chamber. I can only imagine that a ring or two might even remain in there during the firing of a subsequent round which could really hose up the accuracy.
Any thoughts?
