Guys Help me out here!
I have a question that is bothering me to no end. How do I know when Ive seated a particular bullet to the correct depth?? Im loadin for the 243wssm AR and am using different bullets. They have no crimp ring so Im not sure what is the correct length after seating. I tried the COL number found with the charts im using but it does not look right( looks like it sticks out too far) If I insert them to deeply am I changing the pressure? I just dont get it yet!
For instance Imrs chart for 58 gr v-max says the C.O.L. is 2.220". Is this written in stone and I should maintain this length or is this just a suggestion? It just dont look right.
Please help me out here as im afraid im doing something wrong. Ive searched the threads and my manuals but cant find the answer I seek. The only reloading I did before was for a handgun and the bullets had a crimp ring so I felt confident I was doing it right.
Thanks for your help, Dave
