Hello,
I'm a little confuse or overthinking this. What I'm trying to figure out is which would be the correct OAL based on the bullet I purchase from X-Treme bullets . Since my bullet is not in the books I to sorta have to match the gr from the bullet to the book would that be a correct statement?
Bullet is : 223-55gr. FMJ
Modern Relaoding - 55 Grain Jacketd Bullet is set to : MIN OAL : 2.220
Lyman 50th - 55 gr. Jacketed SPT: OAL 2.260
Lyman 51th - 55 gr. Sierra SPT: OAL 2.260 - this book does not have FMJ for 55gr.
The powder I will be using is the CFE223 based on that should I between - 2.250 and 2.255 ? I know the bullets won't be the same measurements so I'm giving myself some space and not chase the OAL.
Hopefully this makes sense on what I'm asking.
thank you,
