As my hand loading journey progresses I'm once again reminded that I'm very capable of making silly mistakes. I worked up a starting load for a Ruger No. 1 rifle chambered for .223 Rem. The SAAMI maximum seating depth of 2.260 looks like it should work very nicely for the No. 1 leaving the ELD-M 73 grain pill about 35/1000 off the lands.
Now for the mistake; I used brass fireformed in my Savage 10 . The rounds chamber just fine in the No. 1, any risk in just shooting them in the No. 1?
I don't really want to shoot them in the Savage as that rifle prefers a longer seating depth with the ELD-M bullets.
Thanks
