Lots of great info here! To make sure I understand what determines OAL. I'm at 1.090 now with the current batch. I know they slip in/out of the case gauge but the case gauge is not the final determination, correct? The barrels that I use should be the final gauge to determine where the rifling starts. If they fall in/out easily in my barrels then is it safe to say thats a good OAL?
