I have made up a dummy round using a PPU .308 168 match bullet to a shorter OAL than a GP11 round.
It will not chamber, so, I have knocked out a bullet from a GP11 round and the measurements are .304 at the base of the bullet below the crimp line and .300 above the crimp line, nowhere near .308
Any pointers to a solution will be gratefully accepted
"If you really want to know what your rifle will chamber then you need to take a chamber slug."
Now that is something I have heard of but I have not got a clue as to how to go about it. I'll go and watch some You tube video's and I know a man I can ask
