Can someone please measure the over all length of a factory 500 gr Woodleigh 470 NE round and post it?

Sure would appreciate it!

What's a factory 470NE? I don't even have one. I have 470NE's with 500 gr woodleigh softs and solids crimped in place if that helps! -Rob

Rob,

OK ... I've been zinged! Point taken.

Was trying to ascertain what the "standard" OAL for the round is so that I don't load'm too short and up the pressure.

thanks,

mstarling,

Trim to length 3.240" and crimp them Woodleighs in the cannelure.

500gr,

Thanks ... I really appreciate it.

I am on the road, trying to make sure I have everything together to load for the rifle I'll pick up from the dealer when I get home.

The Woodleighs are on the way, but I haven't seen them yet ... so I did not know if they had a cannelure.

I actually broke down and ordered some XMR 5744 as well. Darned I HATE paying the UPS HazMat charge!

thanks very much!
