New Question CZ 527

[Bassfish1952]

That does sound like a short throat to me, but as CZ says a 0.020 jump will shoot.
My 6Arcs have, as per OAL gage, 2.301, 2.313, and 2,320 for the Eldx.
So yours is a tight chamber, imo.
this will likely cause a need to shorten other bullets like Bergers (maybe not the VLD's), 90 Eldx, 105 Bthp (think Hornady Black 105) so they will not jam into lands.

On the eyes, I can tell you what a huge difference getting the cataract surgery done did for me being able to see -- the clarity you regain is truly awe-inspiring.
If I were in your shoes I would seek another opinion from an opthamologist that specializes in cataracts; I did and they could tell I needed it like, now.  Took me about a year to arrive at that conclusion, however (due to the bad advice I got from the first Dr) and about same age as you at the time...
If you truly are a year away, ok, just sayin' that when  you get the new lens implants you will be amazed at how much better it is, and why you waited so long!

Another thought, you're quoting only to the 0.01 on the caliper... do you have one that goes to 0.0005?  A digital one like Frankford doesn't cost much but gives you much better, much finer accuracy. goes to 0.001 with a 0.005 available on it as well (the "5" is a smaller size so it's reading between the 0.001's but not to the 0.0001, if you know what I mean).

Thanks for the advice. I'll check with another on the eyes and yes I bought the caliper I have to check a few things on my boat, I should get better for this.
I assume using the OAL gauge is specific to the bullet. I got this gauge  from Copper Creek and a Hornady 103 ELD-X bullet to use with it. I would guess that switching to another brand or size of bullet I would take a new measurement for seating and OAL with that bullet
I looked on Midway at the Frankfort . Has the same star rating as some others.But some negative reviews. I guess anything will have some. 
Did you mention Frankford for cost vs quality  or is it something you would use. 
At this point in the process I think I want better rather than good enough . 

Thanks again

And another question . If you were building another 6arc bolt gun what action would you start with ? This is almost contagious
