I'm loading for 270 win. The data I'm using is from Lee Precision's Modern Reloading. It entails using a starting load of 32.2 grains of IMR 4198 to propell a 130 grain Hornady SP Interlock bullet.
Several things. The bullet has a cannelure. Also, there is no minimum COAL listed for the staring load; only for the never exceed load. For the never exceed load the min. OAL is 3.250". Even if I use that for a starting load, it falls well short of the cannelure.
Lee says I can simply crimp below the cannelure, but does not say at what OAL. Except that I wasn't planning on crimping at all since it's being fired from a Ruger No. 1 single shot rifle.
Any thoughts?
