I just want to share this . I reloaded lapua brass trimmed to 2.05 federal mag long rifle primer 43.0 grains of RL 15 and Berger 175 grain vld hunting bullet. 2690 feet per second with 8 SD . I had to use oal length of 2.810. This put the bullet ogive right at the neck rim . I could not measure the cbto. This gave me .113 off the rifle lands . I loaded and shot a few rounds touching the rifle lands and some .010 ,.020 and .030 they all shot good groups but the oal was to long for my magazine . I settled on going with oal .2.810 because of using magazine for hunting purposesView attachment 7131607
