Gun is a savage model 10. I just got all my primers and powders so I am beginning to mess around a bit before I get to actually reloading. One thing I have a question with is with COAL.
I have a unprimed shell and a 175 SMK bullet, I am trying to determine how long to seat my bullets by closing the bolt with a loose fitting bullet. The problem is that my Sierra reloading manual says COAL is 2.810" and the I am coming up with 2.83x in my rifle. I did this twice with the same results.
Will I be okay seating the bullet this far out?
