I've measured OAL in 5 different 223's. The longest measurement to the lands I've seen is 2.22". Most are between 2.15" and 2.19". This puts the cannelure below the case mouth. No big deal, because there is still a smidgen left before the ogive goes under.
It would be interesting to see where Nosler is loading factory ammo. If they're crimping in the cannelure, I'm betting the factory ammo is jammed in most rifles. I'm thinking they screwed the pooch on the cannelure location?
Just food for thought.....Is anybody else noticing the same results when measuring? I do like the bullet and it appears to shoot well.
Nosler designed these bullets for AR type chambers. Like the current US military special forces AR. If you find they are not fitting your chamber, This is the reason. They where not put into production for hunting rifles, Even though them fit that roll very well.
The anti American Constitutional party (Democrat). Wants to dismantle your rights, limiting every aspect of your constitutional rights. Death by 1000 cuts is the tactic. Each cut bleeds constitutional rights to control you. Control is the goal.
