[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1261196, member: 5219"] Sorry that thought you were just choosing a powder charge...my neighbor's son did that with a 6mm and a varmint bullet. AND he had it shooting bugholes. From then on my friends and I call it the Marvin approach to handloading. Hey you never said you worked up charge weights.... The OAL used by the various bullet manufacturers might be for what they think would fit in most SAMMI chambers. Who knows? I say seat the bullets out as far as possible so they fit and feed from magazine, may or may not touch the lands AND won't fall out of the case mouth. I shoot a 55 gr ballistic tip from a 6mm-284 that had so little bullet in the mouth that I had to seat deeper. That is the only bullet I can say I didn't go with a maxed out OAL. I will say that the Berger hybrid bullets tend to shoot where you seat them regardless of jump to the rifling. Only bullet that I have used that has that consistent quality. [/QUOTE]
