I've just reloaded my first batch and have a query about the depth of bullet seating.

I have Barnes Varmint Grenades in 36g. and Hornady V-Max in 40 g. To achieve the recommended cartridge length they seem to have to go quite a way into the case, to the point where the straight section of the bullet is fully inside the lip of the case and the case does not seem to crimp right in.

With the Hornady bullets the tapered tip is so pointed that I have my Lee Bullet seater die turned all the way in just to get the rounds to fit in the magazine and even then they are a little over the recommended max. length. I've tried one in the rifle and it chambered fine.

Is this acceptable?
