    My brand new Lee 2nd edition 2017 book.

    Has loads for 300 blk , but.
    I'm going 220 gr rnfb interlock hornady and cfe blk for powder.
    Lee says 2.26 min oal. thats barely fitting in a pmag and wont chamber in my bolt gun.
    In my chamber the coal was 2.215 with that bullet.
    At 2.26 the cannelur was out of the case by 0.160, a tipoff?
    So that data was not for rnfb.

    Will be getting a hornady rl book asap.

    Best I have seen on web was a 2.1 coal was standard, and that puts the cannelur perfect on the round.

    Can anyone confirm this I am trying to get a 1050fps load up and running.

    I think Lee has some typos, lists other mag length stuff "5.56" as a minnumum.
    Wow disappointing.
