ok guys, I'm thinking about creating a new AR10 (not AR15) recently, paying attention to the excellent ballistic graph of a 7mm bullet. and I am thinking of making an ar10 using 284win which has a case capacity a little more than 7-08win, but there is some problem with the base size of the bullet as shown in the picture below.
Since 284win is basically using rebated rim, I think 308win and 284win are compatible with the same 0.473inch rim. However, because the base size is slightly larger than 284win by 0.03inch, it is possible that the standard ar10 magazine will not be slightly stiff or the ammunition will not be inserted. Also, I think this will greatly reduce the capacity of the magazine.
If there is a problem, I am thinking of making a customized wild cat cartrige with the base size reduced to 0.501>0.475. I wonder if anyone here has ever put 284win in an ar10 magazine?
