Well I worked up a few rounds of 22-250 60 Grain Nosler Partitions for my Ruger Hawkeye bolt action rifle...
I'm using 1st round reloaded brass from the same rifle... I'm case trimming and neck sizing...
I am using 2.345 OAL Max shown is 2.350...
I cannot get them to chamber in my bolt action without cranking hard down on the bolt, which I didn't do... the factory loads chamber fine..
Could it be that the 60 grainers require a shorter OAL for my rifle? Where can I find MINIMUM OAL?
Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated, these are my first rifle reloads...
Thank you in advance!
