Why the .040 difference between each one. I thought .005 was sort of typical
I loaded 6 each starting at 2.318" (measured from the ogive with a Hornady Comparator), then 2.279", 2.239", and 2.197". The shortest length still exceeded max mag length using the 7mm-08 mag.
Nosler says 49.5 grains of Hunter is a compressed load. There at the end I could sorta feel a crunch, but Hunter is pretty fine.
I'll keep everyone posted.
