AllenHawaiiWoodleigh 320gn .366 RNSP cannelure position measurement
What is the distance from bullet base to cannelure on a Woodleigh .366 320gn RN SP?
How wide is the cannelure?
Woodleigh lists the over all length as 1.323 for it but no information on the cannelure placement.

AtkinsonI have been shooting them for years and I just seat them to the cannalure, both softs and solids and they work in the magazines which actually determines your seating depth in 95% of the rifles used with them, and they chamber well...
This bullet is designed for one thing and thats buffalo in the Jesse, so I wouldn't get to technical with them and you will have to use the magazine as your seating gage I betcha, this has worked in every one I have owned..
If however I was to build one on a long action 375 magazine, then I would seat the bullets out as far as a long throat would allow, and ignore the cannalure, its there for no particular valid reason that I can think of, if bullets are moving from recoil I would suggest taking a couple of thousands off your die expander ball and use a powder that comes at least half way up the neck along with a light crimp, that will give you just a little compaction...The 320 gr. Woodleighs are a very accurate bullet as are most round nose bullets, and they apparantly come to rest quicker than a spitzer bullet at close range, making them a decent elephant bullet I am told..
