[QUOTE="thumbs, post: 894280, member: 624"] Thanks guys If you don't want to read all of this just jump to the last paragraph. Here is the reason I ask. I first loaded to the length of factory ammo. I did a bunch because I was headed west and wanted to wack a few PD's. Long story good times but not the amount of ammo I expected to use. I have quite a bit left. In trying to learn a bit more about loading for the .223 I started reading about this jump thing. I measured my breach and found my oal was way short for the length of the breach. I loaded maybe 100 or so a little shorter than the breach measurement. The original loads were seated to the cannelure. The newer ones were way short of the cannelure and still not the length the book says is min. I took the new ones out and they shot like crap. All over at 100yards. My original loads that were factory length shoot pretty well. I know you guys don't want to talk numbers on loads but lets say the first loads that were factory ammo length were way short of the min oal in the load books. Is this a problem??? Also I had some ftf with the new loads. Never had ftf before. I can't chamber a round that is the suggested min oal in my AR SW sport. When I do I can't pull it out using the charging handle I have to shoot it out. I am guessing the bullet is being forced into the rifling and can't be dislodged using the charging handle.But my oal is way short of the min oal in two load books. The longer rounds shoot like crap. The short ones shoot fine. Is this a problem pressure wise?? Oh my cases are just under max oal. thanks for the help [/QUOTE]
