Bullet Depth & OAL

One thing I forgot to mention. The difference in overall length is due to the different shape projectiles. Take the polymer tip off and they are nearly the same. The important measurement there would be the length to ogive. Not overall.

Case gauge for rifle really only tells you if the case meets specs, not the completed cartridge. Ammo checker does that. If it fits good in the ammo checker it meets sammi specs. I saw a you tube video once where the guy showed a perfect case gauge fitting but the completed cartridge would not pass the ammo checker.

They don't have any instruction set with it that I could see but it looks pretty neat. Probably same instruction as Sheridan. If I were loading this round I would buy one unless the ammo is specifically being sized to one rifle and not a full length resize. Thanks for posting.

Assuming you have sufficient neck tension and it feeds reliably in my experience the cannelure (lubrication groove in this case) is irrelevant.

Thanks. Although the knowledge is to not crimp, a little may be necessary if it doesn't seat properly.

If it’s in an AR, probably not a bad idea.
