    Officially a New Reloader of 308. I have some questions

    So loading them isn't a Danger to myself or my rifle even though the cases are right or just above the Nosler suggested 2.015 case length? I just have fear of the unknown due to my inexperience and lack of other to speak with on the matter personally.

    Yes I am using 155 AMAX as i stated, And 2.822 is the Max OAL With the Hornady tool not their advised OAL Use the OCW method to determine charge weight/range based on published OAL data for the bullet you are shooting then play with the seating depth to fine tune accuracy.
