Hey guys,
Looking for your re-loading expertise! I'm trying to re-load .308 Win for my Armalite Super SASS and here's my problem: I know Max C.O.L. is 2.810. Factory cartridges appear to have a fairly consistent C.O.L. of about 2.785. When I seat my 150gr FMJ BT to that same C.O.L. (2.785), the cannelure sits a rediculous amount too high. When I seat the same bullet to the middle of the cannelure, the C.O.L. measures a measly 2.710. Is this acceptable? What is the minimum C.O.L. for 7.62x51/308 Win?
Ps: I intend to crimp lightly...
Thanks for your help!
