I need help from you gurus out there. I have just complete loading my first handload ever for my 243 WIN. All was well until it was time to seat the bullet. I'm using W760 powder and Barnes TSX 85 gr. bullets and the following data from Hodgdon: 85 GR BAR XBTC, 2.560", W760, 42.0.

All was well until I tried to seat the bullet to 2.560". That's when my redding seating die bottomed out. This seemed very wrong to me, so I looked at the Barnes data which lists the OAL at 2.645". I seated to this depth, but I'm worried I still have a problem. Any advise appreciated.

TIA!
