[QUOTE="andy6149, post: 737819, member: 60571"] Hi Folks, this is my first post so be gentle .... I have been reloading .308 for a few months now and have been sticking to reloading manuals for OAL. I have just tried to use an empty case with the neck sized down to hold the bullet (.308 Sierra HPBT Match #3156). I start the bullet in the case OAL is about 2.970 at this point - i then lock the bolt down (full battery?) and eject the round - i believed that the lands should push the bullet back giving an accurate OAL as I have seen in videos - but nothing happened ...... is this normal? The rifle is a Howa 1500 varmint which i bought new earlier in the year. Any help would be great thanks Andy [/QUOTE]
