OK here is what I have. Terry Cross (KMW) built 308 with about 3000 rounds through it. I pruchased it with about 2500 rounds fired. I have always loaded my loads to 2.820 and not measured to the ogive. So I got a gauge to measure to the ogive and i started out by seating a bullet softly in a piece of brass to see where the bullet makes contact with the lans. So I got an overall measurement of 2.952 and an Ogive measurement of 2.288. This seems a little long but I am not sure. I am loading 155gr Sierra Palma. Does this seem right or do I need to have the barrel set back for better accuracy or should I shoot at maximum mag length. With 175gr pulled SMK I am getting .6" 10 shot groups at 100yds. But I am switching to 155gr now. Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
