We took the decision to make the action longer than any other before for the following reason:

We could see in our lifetime the possibility of some jurisdictions banning the use of lead in bullets. This would, in order to make monometal bullets heavy enough for caliber, cause the necessity to make the OAL of some rounds longer.




This is forward thinking and I applaud it.

Thinking even further, I wonder if barrels should be given just a wee bit tighter twist in anticipation of heavier {longer's what counts} monometal bullets. Whether necessary or not, I wonder if some of the slug companies will head this direction, for marketing reasons or not.
