[QUOTE="hubb, post: 955382, member: 25751"] The lighter bullets are going to have a shorter coal vs a heavier one, but the length to the Ogave can be the same. That is why your bullet stuck in the barrel, the Ogave was to far out because the coal was to long for that grain weight bullet. Feenix shows a load with his calipers that has a longer coal than my 215gr Hybrid VLD's. That tells me it is farther to his lands than my rifle. That's the reason you need to measure your own rifle versus what someone else uses. You cannot load a 165gr bullet out to the coal of a 200gr or 215gr bullet because the 165gr is much shorter and you may jam the Ogave into the lands. You can work with the same Ogave measurement on different weight bullets and be OK, but not the coal. There are several things made and ways to measure the base to Ogave against the lands. It will be a great help to you to learn how to do that. Just beware of loading to far out and jam the lands, it can cause a pressure problem and come to no good..!! [/QUOTE]
