*HELP*- BAT 3L and 6 Dasher
Guys
I have myself a BAT 3L 1.365 dual port action which I was planning, and hopefully still planning on using for a 6mmDasher build.
The reamer is a 0.272"NK, 0.125FB.
Now, here is my problem. I put a case in with a 107MK seated and cycled the bolt in the action (no barrel etc), just beacuse I have a new toy. I noticed that as the bolt is cycled the case lifts as it hits the bottom lug area of the receiver, centering it. This lug is the guide to put the round into the chamber.
Now, my problem. Since the projectile is seated out as fair as it is, it appears that the 107MK projectiles tip/point is past the threaded area of the action before it starts lifting on bottom lug area.
It appears to me then, that when the bolt is cycled with a 6mm Dahser round and the 107MK, that the round will hit the back of the barrel before lifting to centre it?
Is this true? I know the back of the barrel has a 25degree angle sue to the coned bolt, but I think this would not be enough to guide, and when the bolt would be cycled quickly would most likely jam the projectile further into the case.
I need to know the answer to this before I have the rifle built.
The stock I have is basic inlet for a BAT 1.365" round action. No bolt handle etc has been cut. If it is a issue, I will look at going to a BAT DS action.
I do have my heart set on the 3L though!
I hope one of you out there can answer this!
Cheers
