I am just getting started with reloading and need some advise/help.
My info: .223 Remington 55gr. bullet, 25.5gr. Varget, CCI primers, LEE turret press with LEE dies. FL resizing, pro auto disc powder measure, seating die and factory crimp die.
1. I have cleaned, resized, and deprimed all my brass. (800 cases) When measuring length I got a range in sizes/lengths. from 1.735 to 1.777 I can trim the long ones but as for the short ones do I just go with it or is it too short?
2. when setting my seating die I set it to an OAL of 2.260 with a case that is 1.740. Per Lyan's 49 edition. However at that length the bullet seats so that the "serrations" are completely above the top of the case. I read here as well as other forums people are seating at an OAL of 2.200-2.230. How short is too short?
I only have the one book as of now to referance but will be buying another soon. Thank you for all you help and sorry for the "new guy questions"
