Need you advice. I'm setting up my dies for 223. The bullet is a 75gr hornady match. It's a long bullet.
If I seat this to 2.260 this is what things are looking like. Not sure I'm okay with this. My book has an 80gr hpbt that gets seated at 2.550. Also a 75gr that is 2.390.
What are you thoughts? See if the rifles (ar 15s) will take a longer OAL, or stick to the 2.260? Thx Pete
Edit. Set it at 3.350 and it's too long for the mag.
Next edit. Went with the 68 gr bthp match, which is quite a bit shorter.
