I just started reloading a few months ago, and am still learning the tricks. I've got some GI magazines for the AR-15 that won't accept the bullet OAL of 2.260. I had to go down to 2.245. Is this normal? | ||

I`m sure others here are much more knowagable on this then me, but when you are loading for a 5.56 or 7.62 Nato there are minor differences in the cartridge compared to the commercial versions. The COL may well be one of them. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?
