I have 130gr sst match ammo that's 2.589 measured to ogive with a comparator, cheap 150gr federal at 2.694. My sierra matchking 135 hpbt measured right off the rifling is 2.64 (hit lands hard at 2.66). What I'm looking at is how much longer overall my handload is. I'll only be loading 1 round at a time. 150gr is 3.123, sst match 3.219 and mine is 3.29, will this cause any issues? Also all of these are shorter then the lee books min oal of on average 3.34 which would not only be jammed WAY into lands but also seated barely into the case, the book has to be wrong... Would be 3rd thing I've found that's off...
Basically I'm worried about using loads in my new Lee book because of pressure issues towards high end of powder grains. My logical brain is telling me the book meant max oal and not min oal, or, me or the books author is making a mistake. Theres no waythe MIN oal has the bullet barely seated past the boat tail....
