I am trying to load up some .243 with Nosler ballistic tips. The grains is 55 grains with a purple tip. Anyways my nosler book said that the ocl is 2.710. Ok well the one that I made is 2.645. The bullet should probably be seated a little further in, but I'm afraid I'm going to screw something up. I know that it probably don't matter, but what is the .243 ocl supposed to be at? If I was to set it at 2.578 would that work? This is my first round so I really would rather have some information before I screw something up. I know that the .30-06 and the .300 OCL is 3.340, but the factory 30.06 isn't that long. Maybe I'm just making too much out of nothing. What is the shortest I should go on the .243 .30-06 and the .300? Thanks.
