Just finished my first batch of .308
Particulars-
Federal Brass
Hornaday 150g Interlock BTSP
41.0g H4895 (Listed as starting load)
Brass was full length sized and trimmed.
Hodgdon and Lee data lists 2.80 as max and min OAL. I seated these bullets with the cannelure completely exposed and came up with an OAL of 2.78.
What gives? Are these loads safe to use or should I pull and start over. They are for a Howa bolt action.
