I am doing some ladder loads, and got a question about the max loads I did.
Hornady 150g round nose
Imr 3031
Trim length 2.030
I did 4 of each 28.7, 30, 31.2, 32.5, and 33.8 (max)
Everything loaded great with a nice crimp and overall length of 2.550. Except for the max loads which I believe bullet hit powder and won't let it seat all the way. I got two rounds 2.551, one round 2.552, and last is 2.555.
Book calls for max length 2.550, the shorter rounds I tapped the case so all the powder will settle, the longest I did not do it...
Is this normal, are they ok to shoot (winchester 1894)? Do I need to tear them apart.
And yes I weighted it all out by hand scale read the exact same everytime (used trickler)
