Would like to verify my load data please.

I am loading for a CMMG .308, and I am using LC10 brass, BL-C(2), CCI #200, and 150gr surplus bullets. These will be for plinking so I am not worried about gnats ass accuracy.
I weighed a few bullets and they averaged about 152gr. Ogive measurement differed by around .20. I probably should have sorted them before loading my test rounds. I loaded them to 2.800" at the tip, and checked them in a PMAG to ensure fit. My question is based on the cannelure location. On these bullets it is very low on the body of the bullet compared to Hornady 150gr FMJ. I usually just seat to the cannelure with FMJ plinking bullets, but on these I had to seat past the cannelure. Does the seating depth sound about right, or should I seat them deeper? Thanks in advance.

As long as the bolt closes you're good to go.

All you can do is load to mag length or shorter unless you want to make your gun a single shot. It sounds like the cannelure is hidden once you seat to 2.800-if this is the case then so be it, leave it alone and don't worry about a crimp long as you have good neck tension. If the cannelure is still exposed, then you can seat deeper to the cannelure if you want, but I wouldn't.

I always load to max mag length minus about .010" to allow for the occasional longer bullet to insure reliable feeding.

The 152 s could be older 30 06 projos and will seat past the cannelure.They should be fine.Load to mag length and let em fly.
