Hi all, and thanks for having me!
I am just starting reloading and am on my first batch of .223 to be used in a Ruger M77 II.
My question is this: Books all say that cartridge overall length max is 2.26". After setting up to keep the bullet just off the lands, I came out with a COAL of 2.28".
Is this .02 going to be a problem? And am I doing right by seating the bullet just off the lands?
Many thanks in advance.
