Question-I measured where my lands are with a technique that I got from one of the Sierra Techs. My measurment was 2.938.
They told me to back off about .010 and keep working back until I find the best OAL for the particular load I am using.
Now to my question. The Sierra manuel gives 2.800 for the maximum length. If I start .010 from the lands then I am at 2.928. This is above the maximum length listed. Is there a problem if I were to start with it at 2.938?
