You are right, thanks. Is it a good idea to shoot the heavier rounds (140 +) out of a 16 inch tube?
Invisiman:
It is perfectly safe but your velocity will be pretty low. Guys can stuff about 30 grains of ball powder into a Grendel case with a 120 or 123 grain bullet length. Stuff a 140 into a Grendel to magazine length and you will probably be left wtih a 25 grain cartridge. That ought to be pretty slow.
