Loading for a new rifle.
80gr amax set to an OAL of 2.550" as suggested by the Lyman manual.
However when I loaded up a dummy round and chamber it (AR), the cartridge gets completely stuck. I can mortar the gun and get the case out, but the bullets get stuck in the barrel.
I know my OAL was good. Is my gun just not able to be set that long? Am I stuck with magazine length? I haven't tried mag length yet. Hoping a reloading guru is up late tonight.
It's a brand new krieger barrel. Hasn't been shot. Headspaced and everything by Krieger.
