Couldn't resist.
If you haven't seen them.
Reload data from Lehigh says COL of 2.800 which is normal. But this puts the BTO around 2.100 and for me a jump of .15" which is not normal. When seated at 2.800 OAL the projectile sits flush with the last groove edge sort of like a cannelour.
If I seat the bullet with a more normal jump say .04" the OAL is 2.9+ and won't fit in my mags. Not the end of the world if I have to single feed for now. When seated the projectile shows entire first groove.
Just wondering your guys thoughts on this. Pros and cons of doing one vs the other? I'm leaning towards published data.
