I reloaded a few dummy rounds. Remington 700 7mm Remington Mag. Lee Breech-loc Changller kit,Remington brass, Hornady 162 gr. SST bullets.
Reloading manuals list as follows:
Trimmed case lenght...max 2.500---Measured...2.498
Casel Overall Lenght.........3.290
At a C.O.L. of 3.350 The bullet was contacting the lands.
At a COL of 3.338 I was not touching the lands. Thats a change of 0.012 from the 3.350 and a change of 0.048 of the listed COL. Is "3.338" COL too long or am I good to try a few live rounds?
Thanks for your help
