[QUOTE="Zerk, post: 1261094, member: 84595"] Hornady's 9th, over all lengths are shorter, then what I Lyman's 50th has for .243 win. Deeper seated causes more pressure, and Hornady's max is less. Unfortunately I didn't catch this when loading 58 grain. I loaded 1.5 grains over. Haven't shot. Hornady 2.60 and Lymann 2.625. Lesson pay attention to length. I am now loading 105 grn A-max, I have 1:9.25 twist. Again Hornady seats deeper. My question is, is it better to load longer, so closer to throat? Better accuarate and less throat wear? Is Hornady just being conservative so it loads in all guns. I if I load longer, I will make sure it fits my magazine and loads. Can I use a neck sided fired round to determine distance to throat? I read about coloring bullet with sharpie, sticking it in and chambering? Neck sizing to tight? Should I shoot one off in the backyard? I am loading to try out when snow is gone. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
