[QUOTE="valleyloader, post: 915876, member: 73166"] This is normal in a factory chambered rifle, the COAL listed in the book is to assure ammunition is standard for magazine length. If you are intending to seat 0.005" off the lands, you may or may not be able to use the magazine. As far as safety is concerned you can fire a round that is over max length, however it is recommended to start at a reduced powder charge and work up checking for pressure signs. Seating near or on the lands can create increased pressure. [/QUOTE]
