[QUOTE="drenner43, post: 980714, member: 21398"] I'm fairly new to reloading compared to the experience on this site. Been doing it about 1.5 years but nothing extreme. Started to load for dads new 300 win mag last night. It's a sender II. By my measurements I can get by with a OAL of 3.75" and it still load through the magazine. I'm loading 210 bergers. However, with that OAL it doesn't seem like the bullet is seated near enough in the case. My question is. What is a good rule of thumb to go by for a somewhat novice, as to what is a safe seating depth? How much of the bullet needs to be in the case mouth to be seated enough? I know there are going to be some in depth responses but I just have standard reloading supplies and tools. So help me all you can. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
