I'm loading 145 grain ELD-X in .270 Win and can't seem to seat the bullet lower than 3.05
First, In Hornady 10th Edition, they recommend a seating depth of 3.2 and in in the 11th edition they recommend to seat it all the way out to max 3.34.
My real problem is that my Model 70 likes seating Interlocks at 3.280, but the die won't allow me to get lower than 3.05. I've loosened the crimp adj. all the way off and no luck. Now the full lenght RCBS die was purchased in 1975 and am wondering if the new fangled bullets are just too long for the die.
I contacted Hornady and they couldn't help me.
Your thoughts?
