[QUOTE="freebird63, post: 369224, member: 22102"] Ok will try and put all this info down so its understandable. Rifle-Remington Sendero 300 Ultra Mag OAL-3.600 Bullets being used-Berger 185gr Published OAL of Berger bullet-1.378 The lenght of bullet from my caliper-1.360 With Hornady OAL Gauge-3.824 With comparator on the OAL guage-3.140 With my caliper I have found that my magazine will only allow for a OAL of 3.610, after that it becomes a single shot rifle. So with all these numbers can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here??? I also know that with the RCBS dies and Lee dies the tips of my bullets were bottoming out in the seater therefore damaging the tips of the bullets. I have only found two dies companies that make a seater for VLD bullets and that is Redding and Forster. Thank you in advance for any insight anyone can give me as to what I am doing wrong, I have followed the instructions to the best of my ability, I am just an old dumb scooby mule deer hunter.
