Does anyone like this design?? Its the lee 500 3r with 1 lube groove eliminated. This would make for a shorter base to allow more powder in the case. The bullet is not a shortened version of what is currently produced. OAL is the same to maintain high BC. The bullet would be slightly heavier since a groove would be filled in. I'm thinking BPCR, but of course, anyone could play with it.

My other idea is to eliminate 1 lube groove, again to allow for more powder, but to bring the weight down close to the 400 gr range.
