Quote from Reloader on June 15, 2008, 9:51 pmI load a 200 gr. Rainier FP bullet and get a 1.235+/- in Winchester and PMC cases. I load the same bullet in Remington and CBC and Federal cases and get an OAL of 1.240+/-. Any explaination as to the differences? Is it a difference in case length or is there something else going on? It doesn't affect shooting or accuracy, I just can't figure out the reason for the added length. Some folks on other forums seem to be concerned about such a difference, but I don't see it if the bullet isn't seated too deep.
