Any reloaders out there? I bought 1,000 rounds of 53 gn .223 hollow points in March of 2020 because I saw an ammo going the way of TP thing coming about. Figured if I was going to be stuck home, I would gather some hobbies together so I could use my time productively and not play games all day. I finished pressing the Lords caliber together, and am about to change back over to .223 (my company did get essential status and I worked through the pandemic, thankfully because sitting at home for a year would've driven me insane. 2 weeks was bad enough). My question is about the overall length that was given for the round I'm using, is that to the flat on the hollow point or to the hypothetical point of where the bullet would be if it did have a point. I tried cycling them in my savage axis bolt action and the round gets caught on the barrel. I didn't know if that was due to the rifle not having a feed ramp or the bullet is too long and I have to shorten them. Going through the single stage press wouldn't be a huge thing to do. Sorry for a sloppy explanation, my coffee hasn't kicked in fully on this glorious Monday morning.
