0.223 Rem
Bought some PPU 69 grain 0.224 FMJ bullets to reload for a 0.223 Rem. 26" barrel. 1 in 9 twist.
The bullets are much longer than the 62 grain bullets I have previously loaded.
Viht load data shows an OAL of 2.26" which means the bullet will be seated very deep, encroaching into the powder space but will fit into the magazine.
Loading a bullet to a case neck length gives an OAL of 2.32" which means the rounds will not fit into the rifle's magazine.
Question. Is it best to seat the bullet to the OAL maximum and fit into the magazine or load to one case neck depth & single feed the rounds.
Target shooting, so the latter is not a problem.
Anyone compared the above for accuracy. Which gives better accuracy.
Thanks
Al.
