    i thank you guys for all the helpful hints! i loaded up a test batch of 50, using Sierra 110gr FMJ Bullets sitting on top of Win-296 and Remington 7 1/2's.

    All brass was trimmed to COL between 1.280 and 1.285. OAL was between 1.6785 and 1.6810. Are those sizes ok?

    I ran into feed problems when I seated to an OAL of 1.680". I now make sure that my OAL is no more than 1.670".
