Picked up a box of PPU 120gr HPBT and some Hornady 123gr SST's.
New build, Midway Stoner barrel, 18", various other parts for the build.
Chambered the SST's - no problem.
Tried the PPU's - they won't fully chamber.
I've done a fair bit of reloading for 223, 243, 270 and 30-30.
Then I measured -
Hornady - 2.240 OAL - 2.710 with Hornady LNL Comparator and 4-25 Insert (best fit)
PPU - 2.240 OAL - 2.813 comparator
Anyone else have this issue?
Went to do some handloads - ended up with 120gr Sierra Pro Hunter Spitzer OAL of 2.170 and comparator at 2.765 - loaded conservative at 25gr or 8208XBR and large primers for the PPU new cases I got.
They seem to chamber fine, no land marks on the bullet.
I'd appreciate any input on those load numbers (primarily OAL/Ogee length).
Thanks!
