[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1203841, member: 48043"] The sweet spot seems to be either 20 to 50 thou. off the origin, or max. magazine length... I'll let a pill run (off the lands a bit more, that is) to keep them in the magazine. I would not waste a box of bullets playing with slightly different cartridge lengths; I've never needed to. Three lengths; 1 at 20-50 thou off.,. one at mag length, and one with the pill at max length with the bullet jammed... I'd only use the max. length (jammed) if the others do not work- [B][I]watch your pressures if you do this[/I][/B]. I also would work the load up in 1 grain (or slightly coarser at lower charges) and refrain from the couple of tenths at a time crap that some do; it simply does not matter in a cartridge of this size.
