I wanted to ask you guys that reload 223's what OAL do you seat to ?
I have found a real accurate powder and bullet combo, actually a few bullets that are extremely accurate. Now I want to play with bullet seating depth and see what effect it has on accuracy.
I have all 55 grian bullets, hornady flat base soft points, hornady 55 grain fmjbt's, dogtown 55 grain flat base soft points and some hornady vmax. They are not all the same length so if I load them all to the same OAL some are at the canalure and some are not and vice versa if I load to the canalue they are not all the same OAL.
What are you guys doing about OAL with bullet ?
