Am starting to load for this rifle/cartridge and could use some hints.

1-The COL needs to close to max for easier loading into the fixed mag?
2-Also having trouble with blunt (round nosed or fp 30-30 type) bullets. Seems difficult to load mag with anything other than spitzers?
3-Unless the bullet has a cannelure, it "jumps" forward (.005 in) when the bolt is released from the held open position. This happens with Win,Rem or Fed brass, even when expanding plug removed from sizing die.

Welcome any suggestions/tips/advise or related experience specific to rifle and cartridge.

Thanks
 
The Lee factory crimp die will work to stake a bullet, cannelure on it or not. End of problem.
