[QUOTE="Left_to_ Lobster, post: 1885834, member: 113291"] Newbie here be gentle... I traded some guns to shake things up with a pale. I ended up with a Ruger Hawkeye FTW in .30-06. I actually shot it a bit and helped him site it in. It’s a nice accurate rifle with some factory ammo. I bought some star line brass and some Nosler AccuBond 165 gr bullets. I took a ogive measurement with the Accubond’s I plan on loading. I came up with 2.694”. I’ve got a dummy round set up at 2.682”. The OAL in my reloading book states 3.285” for my set up. My OAL is 3.310”. It cycles fine in the rifle. No mag we’ll hang ups. Questions: 1. Will my OAL give me pressure issues? I assume it wouldn’t - the opposite impact. 2. Am I too far off on the ogive or just right? I’ve read about 0.005” off as a starting point. Thoughts? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
