[QUOTE="Nameless One, post: 1803196, member: 112685"] Thank you cohunt... All i have are magpul mags. I`m at 2.245 OAL length right now, because i see they are really close to rubbing the tip of the bullet within the front leading edge of the mag, so that`s why i seated them a little bit shorter than i originally was going to. I found some info that said the OAL for this particular bullet should be around 2.250, but i saw that was a little tight in the mags. I haven`t been able to get to the range yet, so i dont have any idea how these are going to work yet in a live fire session. I tested them in a ammo gauge, all good there. They seem to cycle manually in the chamber just fine. I dont see any witness marks on the bullets as if it were hitting the lands either. Forgive me if i seem wrong on anything, i`m kind of a ar newbie, but i would think the principles of reloading should be close to the same as most other rifle cartridges. Over 50yrs of reloading, so i do have a little bit of knowledge, i think, just not as much in the ar platform, yet...lol I started out with my powder charge`s in the middle of what the manuals said.
