[QUOTE="TaergEno, post: 958257, member: 37489"] Awesome, I will definitely take my time and take all your suggestions into account. I just noticed in my first post, I wrote the incorrect case length (2.305" not 2.605"). I even measured my factory loaded .338 Lapua ammunition and the spent cases are also ~ this same size (~2.3"). Any idea why all the brass is ~2.3" when all the documentation/load data states that it should be closer to ~2.7"? I am looking at reloading information and I found the following regarding the items I have: I have Swift 210gr Scirrocco II Bullets (O.A.L. 1.393") I think I am going to use Vihtavuori N165 Powder. According to Vihtavuori loading specifications, they call for a C.O.A.L. of 3.583" Now that means that I have 1.278" to go from 2.305 to 3.583. Since my bullets are only 1.393", do I only press them into the brass .115"? Because that seems to be far too shallow. Is the C.O.A.L. just a maximum recommended? How far would I want to seat the bullets into the brass? [/QUOTE]
