I need help.
I recently started reloading and just finished batch of .223 Remington. I am using CFE 223 powder (26.5 gn) and 50 gn Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint bullets. The load data I have says the OAL should be 2.210, I have maxed out the adjustment for my seater die (I am using Lee dies) getting to 2.215. Is that going to be close enough or do I need to do something special to get that last 0.005 of seating depth?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
