[QUOTE="hubb, post: 955251, member: 25751"] Yes I did experiment with length, and it does make a big difference. I measure the length of my loaded rounds from the base to the Ogave now no matter the type bullet for all my loads. I may check the over all length every now and then but the length to the Ogave is the main measurement I use. I measure the distance to the lands from the base to the Ogave on a bullet and worked from that, I've found that seating the bullets from .015 to .060 or so off the lands to the Ogave depending on bullet type has been the best for my rifle. Each rifle will be "different" so the over all length one can use will vary according to each rifle, it will take a little fooling with to find your sweet spot. What worked in someone else's rifle may not work in yours. I have a AI detachable magazine that has plenty of room for anything I've loaded. It will take and load what ever I've put in in so far, and I do get way out there on over all length with some bullets. Not all magazines will be able to use long loads so that may be what determines how long you can get by with. When in doubt and you have no way of measuring to the Ogave I would stick with SAAMI spec's for length and you cant go wrong. You for sure want to avoid jamming a load by having it to long. I hope this may help you instead of confuse you, have a good'n [/QUOTE]
