Started reloading on my Lee turret about 1.5 months ago. I have loaded approx 350 rds with the same bullets:
Hornady #2267 55GR FMJ-BT W/C

I am gonna load another batch with the same components,,, except I am going to use:
Hornady #2266 55GR SP W/C

What would be a good OAL? For my AR

I ask, cause I loaded one with the press set up for the first scenario and cannalure is way to high. Should I just load to mid cannalure?

EDIT::::: OK Forget the above ramble. I guess what I want to know is what is the shortest OAL that RUNS through your AR????

I have some federal FMJ factory ammo that measures 2.17 and runs great threw my AR, the handloads I have made for it I try to keep right around 2.20, and that usually ends up right in the cannalure.
