I loaded my first 32 rounds of Grendel and let me tell you, it was satisfying.
Problem is, my first two (hence the 32 rounds) were loaded with the bullets seated too deep. My first one seated to a C.O.L. of 2.10 and I could hear the powder compress as it seated. The second one was somewhere slightly longer but I don't think there was any compressing of the powder for that one.
My question is: Can I shoot these or do I need to pull the bullet and do it again? The load is too light in them as they were the bottom of my ladder at 26.2 gr. I found 28.0-28.4 was a pretty sweet spot using 8208 so my future loads will be mostly in the 28.0+ gr variety.
It would be through my bolt gun if it matters, I just don't want to blow anything up...
