Okay, so i made a couple (5) loads of 30-06 with a 165gr HPBT with 45.0gr of 4064. I'm at work right now, and i can't remember the OAL offhand, but i know it was right around the recommended one according to the lyman manual. (I want to say 3.300 for some reason, but i'm not sure)
Here's my conundrum... I loaded a round into the gun to make sure it would chamber... it did... but it got LONGER oal (almost by 0.20) after it was withdrawn. Is my OAL too long for my gun? Did the bullet get stuck in the barrel? There were no obvious rifling marks on the bullet.
Is it time to put a magic marker on the bullet and check?
