It would seem that my chamber is a little short. At 2.24, the bullet is jammed in the lands, which i didn't discover until i was a few shots away from being done with the 50 rounds i was fire forming. I needed to clear the chamber, out came an empty unfired case, and powder all in the action. I thought I was going to have to mortar it out, but it let go right before I gave up
I had one case rupture from the shoulder, down the side. I imagine the chamber pressures are a bit high since the bullet was jammed in the barrel at every shot. I think that case had a dent in the shoulder, not certain.
I was doing a load work up before the fire forming, I was using the same oal. The info is probably useless, but I'll post it. Maybe it'll show something interesting when I do the work up properly. It looks like my oal with this bullet maxes out at 2.17, using the length gage. That seems a little short. My hornady data is calling for 2.18 with this bullet.
I ended up with a labradar, the files are a bit of a pain to sort through. Don't get me wrong, I love all the data, it's just kinda messy the way it handles it.
I'll add some pictures of the cases, get some length measurements and add that with the data a little later
