I got my Sinclair tools to measure my chamber and my max OAL.
My Speer Reloading manual says that max cartridge length is 2.015" with the Trim-to length being 2.005"
My chamber length appears to be 2.043" (hmmmm).
The Speer manual says that Max Cartridge Length is 2.810".
My max OAL is 2.889" with
What would you advise as a good OAL to start from for my next reloads? Is it *typically* a rule of thumb that the bullet is supposed to jump about 10-thousandths of an inch before engaging the lands for good accuracy and pressures?
