[QUOTE="Skidoo, post: 1626731, member: 109953"] I have a OAL gauge and use it then back it off -.015 or so. Now in my 6.5PRC Christensen mesa long range I broke in the barrel per their instructions and using factory hornady 143 precision hunter ammo and was having a hard time opening the bolt after firing, then open and inspect the brass to find the head had 2 dimples on it from the ejectors. I called a friend and he said to switch ammo so I went to the hornady 147 match and the problem was still there but not near as bad as the other ones. Should I pull all these bullets and reload my own or will I be fine using these till they are gone so I have brass to reload with? [/QUOTE]
