Man this thing is freaking crazy!! I found some 55gr Hornady SP w/c I tried years ago and didn't work and figured try them again and used the OAL took and came up very short with 20 readings being within 2k of each other they need to be seated well below the cannelure. I'm fine with that cause I don't crimp but you guys will love this one below!
55gr Nosler Varmageddon ballistic tip can be seated waaay longer than any bullet I have tried. I do 20 checks with the OAL tool and like
@RussellC states I get inconsistent readings with the tool with this bullet. One reading could be say 1.854 and another 1.860 and then a bunch in between so I use the lowest I got as my lands reference and seat 10-15k below that and these suckers still came out really long. I also colored the bullet with a sharpie and chambered it and not a single mark. I bet that bullet from bottom of the case to bullet tip is 2.260 but v max must be under 2.230.
