I'm just beginning reloading 165-168g .308 using Rem PSPCL, Sierra MK and Hornady A-Max.
Both the SMK and A-Max state 2.800 OAL, so that seems to work out just fine, but the Rem PSPCL at 2.800 has the case mouth well behind the cannelure.
Pushing it in to 2.750 lines it up well. Commercial versions I have are also less than 2.800.
I know that I should probably use an "ogive measuring thingy" but am limited right now to a good micrometer.
How do you usually treat rounder nosed cartridges compared to the sharper pointed ones?
