[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 2005232, member: 109229"] Sometimes stuff like this just happens when the right (or wrong) factors come together. A couple of recent examples that come to mind for me are the 143 ELD-X with my 6.5-284. I pushed that to the lands with my Hornady OAL gage and pulled it out only to be astonished by how far the bullet was seated in the case! I think a combination of the ogive profile with a short throat just eliminated the ELD-X as an option. No worries, a 130 Accubond worked just fine. Then, with my .204 Ruger, I was pushing 39 grain Blitzkings right out of the case, like you described and ended up just seating them .020 shorter than mag length and I was fine. I’d say about 80% of the time, the Hornady OAL set-up works fine for me but every so often, it gives me fits. That said, I would agree that the alternative method mentioned above seems worth looking into. Best, -YZ [/QUOTE]
