I know its going to be tricky getting this figure as my bullets will be different, but its worth a try!

I currently use Lapua Scenar 155gr & 167gr and also Hornady A-Max 155gr & 168gr. Both with Lapua Bass.

I'm wanting to get some loads ready for when my rifle is available next weekend but could do with an idea of OAL. Loads etc are sorted, just the OAL required.

Arghhh!!! too many variables. You could go for the safe option of 2.800" or slit the neck of a case so the bullet is a fairly firm sliding fit and chamber it to measure, or get the shop to measure it for you before you pick it up. Or beg/borrow/steal an OAL gauge.

EDIT 2.800" is for the 155 Scenar's

I've got the gauge, just not the rifle! Hence the request. Perhaps I just need to be a bit more patient and measure it myself!!

I'm like a child waiting for xmas day!!!

Distance to the lands needs to be consistent after working up which distance is more accurate, ST magazine dimensions...no good working up such a round if it will not feed thru mag you wish to use.

I use a Stoney Point measure.

Just dip the case into a bucket of powder and then level it off at the top of the neck.
Then hammer the bullet in compressing the powder until it won’t go in any more.
Then crimp it as hard as you can so that it would take a Sumo wrestler with a set of mole-grips to remove it.
And there you are …………..PERFICK !!!!!!!!!!




























Yes I am joking………….honestly. :lol:
