Loading under recommended seat depth for 223?

[DPRoberts]

I picked up some Hornady 68gr bthp's with cannelure from the midway blemished bullet sale with the intention of loading up a couple hundred rounds for my SPR. The problem is with my cases trimmed to 1.75 I have to seat the bullets to 2.20 to hit the cannelure since I'd like to crimp them.

Assuming I reduce my starting load to accommodate the shorter OAL and work up, does anyone foresee any problems with seating that deep?

No. And there is no "recommended" OAL; book OAL is simply what they used to develop the listed charges and it's no more a law than the charges are.

Pretty much what I assumed. Thanks for the assist.
