[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 553583, member: 36369"] Y'all got my curiosity up so I went back and measured my LTL again hoping I made a mistake. Unfortunately I came up with the same conclusion. The CAOL would have to be 4.137" to touch the lands. By the photo below you can see my problem. To get the length I need the only part of the bullet inside the case would be the boattail. What I think I'll do is seat the bullet to a COAL of 3.900" and try it. That will put. 284" of bore diameter bullet inside the neck to support the bullet. That will be .237 off the lands. It won't fit the magazine but I can single load. If need be I can move the bullet out .020" at a time until the groups improve or the bullet gets shakey in the neck. What do you guys think, am I headed in the right direction? [/QUOTE]
