[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3066254, member: 43171"] The process you are doing is learning what that rifles specific Max OAL cartridge length is. A set of calipers will come handy when you want to duplicate that round. That round will be Taylor made for THAT rifle. A different rifle in the same caliber may require a shorter OAL. This is the difference between hand loads and reloads. Your reloading book I'm sure gives you a max OAL. That number is on the "safe" side so it will chamber in any brand rifle that caliber. Just a note, got in a rush once and grabbed the wrong reloads for my tc venture 22-250. It wasn't fun unstickin shells from the chamber. My Ruger American would eat fire-formed brass from either rifle. The Thomson had a much tighter chamber. So.... If you are going to reload for a specific rifle, be sure you don't mix it up with another rifle in that caliber. Hope this helps. If not, sorry. [/QUOTE]
