I have a Uintah 24" carbon fiber 6 ARC upper . I fire formed about 100 converted Lapua 6.5 grendel brass cases about 2 months ago. I finally had the time to perform some BTO measurements for Barnes 112gn, Sierra 90gn, and Hornady 87gn bullets. They were Sierra 90 at 1.695" with a COAL of 2.372", the Hornady 87 at 1.728" with a COAL of 2.247", and the Barnes 112 at 1.725" with a COAL of 2.449". The problem is that the largest magazine bullet COAL would be 2.300". For the Barnes 112gn this means that the bullet will start at 149 thousands off the lands to be able to be magazine fed or it has to be single shot fed. Does anyone else who owns one have this problem? Uintah said that they SAAMI specd the chamber distance.
