[QUOTE="JCW355, post: 2828333, member: 528"] I reload a 7mm mag so the amount of bullet in the case is always greater than 7mm. Now my .243 is different especially when I load it with 55 grain bullets. They are short and to get enough bullet in the case, getting close to the lands is out the window. Like swampratt said you can have a cartridge longer than OAL as long as it functions fitting in a mag or cycling in a semi auto. Cut your cases like your suppose to do otherwise it might not chamber. Bullet length and throat play a role in your bullet seating depth. Yes to question 1, sounds like you're loading a short bullet or have a longer throat so you can't get closer to the lands. No to question 2. Question 3, different bullet profile will have their own max OAL You will have to get that from the bullet manufacturer for that specific bullet. I just remembered I use a stoney point over all case lenth gauge to get my measurements. I hope I answered your questions [/QUOTE]
