[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 969878, member: 61747"] Guidelines in a book specific to a bullet and standard to that will work safely for all levels of reloaders and brands of rifles...... right? So, the VLD by design is a long bullet which may not be great for magazines. However, you can, if you don't know already, find out what your COAL ( case base to ogive) is and see how that coincides with your magazine. For me step 1 is COAL. I use a hornady ogive guage on my rifles and start with seating depth to the lands. I then compare this to the magazine etc and see if the loaded round would fit into my rifle for a repeater. If not, I seat the bullet to the depth required to fit and start at this point for load testing and developement. FYI- I never consider book over length to mean squat to me. It has nothing to do with what I am trying to achieve. I am loading a cartridge specific to a rifle with its unique set of restrictions. [/QUOTE]
