Quote:How do I know when longer is too long?
When I was doing some research for your question I came upon an F-Class post about this subject. What that person said was that he would do different case lengths, beyond book max, so that he could find the one that gave him the best ES. He claimed that you could help decrease ES by lengthening the case. He said that he never went closer to the end of the chamber than 10/1000. This distance is supposed to allow for case expansion.
I am not saying this method is safe or even if it works and I am not telling you to try it. Just some info I found.
Decided to add this:
Just so you are aware that if you miss checking just one case and it gets too long to where the case neck gets past the chamber and up into the throat you could blow up your rifle. If you don't want to check the length of your cases then maybe you should just shoot factory ammo. I will state again that I totally agree with grayfox that I think you are playing with fire. So there you go, if you blow something up I warned you.
