(Reference from Hornady 7th ed. reloading manual)
Col calls for: max 2.810 min 2.780
Finally got some time to reload some 308's using hornady fmjft w/c bullets(#3037). Cases(once fired rem brass) trimmed to 2.005, but cannelure doesn't line up to min or max col. I seated bullet to 2.733 to achieve correct bullet placement(middle of cannelure). I should be good right? (Using varget 38.2gr 2400 fps)
Oh yeah, this is for an M1A.
