so factory ammo appears to fit fine in my magpul magazine, but after checking with my hornady modified case with a 140 hybrid, if i wanted to seat my bullet anywhere near the lands, it will not fit in magazine.

does anyone else have to have a pretty significant jump to keep handloaded ammo within mag specs?

thanks
 
Not uncommon. Buy different mags that allow longer COAL or use a jump tolerant bullet. I've got quite a few very accurate loads that sit between 2.78 and 2.82. Bergers and ELDM's 140's in both and 147's in the ELD at 2.81. Fits a pmag fine.
