Hi guys.
I am new here, and looking for some advice. I am having a custom 6BR,Norma) barrel made for my encore. it will have a 14.5" barrel, and .272-.273 neck diameter so i won't have to turn them. Question I have, so I can let the gunsmith know, is overall length. I am seeing alot of talk about 80gr. fowlers, and would consider using that bullet for the standard of the chamber and throat length. Is the base of that bullet flush with the bottom of the caseneck or can it be farther up in the neck? And what OAL length is that loaded cartridge? I realize thats kind of a broad question, but I don't have the equipment yet to figure this out myself.
I am open to sugestions as to bullets also. Barrel will have a 1-8" twist. Anyone have a better idea or suggestion, feel free to help me here.
