I'm working on loading .270 winchester for a Remington 700 and this is my first attempt loading .270 ammo and am having a problem with getting the AOL to come out right. Cases are trimmed to 2.530" this is the lyman trim to length and I am seating Hornady 130GR SP .277 cal Interlock bullets. I made up a couple of dummy rounds and they are measuring 3.234" before I have even seated it to the canalure and this is below minimun OAL for Accurate 2700 and IMR 4227 which is the powders I'll be using. I pulled the bullet out of a 130gn Winchester Power Point factory round for comparison and found the length of the bullets to be similar but the canalure on the Winchester bullet is much further back than the Hornady by atleast a quarter of an inch. So this is causing my rounds to fall below minimun AOL recommendations. Any sound advice will be greatly appreciated. By the way I'm new to the forum and am looking forward to meeting fellow reloading enthusiast.
Thanks
