This is interesting....

The load measures 3.52 but the OAL in the loading manuals is 3.36 or close to that (from memory).

I arrived at my OAL (3.52) by test-fitting the load in the chamber as instructed by the guy I'm learning this from.

What difference would this make in the bullet's flight?

Note we've checked repeatedly the primers and spent brass. No signs of too much pressure.
