[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2715419, member: 807"] I shoot 223 in a variety of weapons, in the contender family I have to reduce the charge from what I load for the semi autos. If I don't, i get some pretty obvious pressure signs. Those same rounds in the semi's are just where they should be, and in the bolt guns they are hot but not as hot as the contender. Depends on the chamber dimensions and whether the action bleeds any pressure off in its cycle. They bullet manufacturer will normally give the overall length for its bullet/powder combinaiton, the main criteria being that it will feed without snagging on the magazine and that you can eject a loaded round without any problem.
