[QUOTE="FatOldMIHunter, post: 1406644, member: 104844"] Just joined this site because this thread was so informative. I haven't read all the way through it, but I have the opposite problem of short magazine length in my 6.5X55 Swede. I can't get a bullet anywhere near the lands. The amount of bearing surface of the bullet in the neck gets to be dangerously low if I try. I just try to get a minimum of .150" bearing surface and then verify that the round chambers. I don't want to go lower in a hunting situation, so I don't test with less. In my other rifles, I will be trying the reduced load with seating depth testing first. I had heard that the optimum seating depth is independent of charge, but not vice versa [/QUOTE]
