I just double-checked: Speer #14 starts at 9.0g's. Not sure where I got 9.2g's from. The OAL in the book is 1.570, but it's kind of apples-n-oranges. Speer bullets are not Berry's. And since they're actually jacketed, you'd just crimp them in the cannelure - no need to measure OAL. Midway's load map has Rainier bullets at 1.590. But again, apples-n-oranges. I'm thinking you should set your OAL somewhere in that neighborhood though. 20 thousandths is not that critical in this situation - it's Blue Dot in a long case.
