I just reloaded my first 25-06 pratice rounds for my Remington BDL. My Nosler as well as Speer manuals say the COL should be 3.250". When I checked my bullet seating depth for this rifle I found it to be 3.223". I measured a factory round and it was 3.15".
On all my other rifles that I've reloaded for, I found my individual rifle seating depths to always be more than the published COL. What gives, has anyone come across this before? I ended up seating my bullets to 3.193".
