[QUOTE="marc357, post: 3071835, member: 1786"] I have a CTR in 6.5ManBun, I just load to 2.850 COAL which fits in the magazine and feeds fine. Unless you have a wildly out of spec chamber, you're not going to get anywhere near the lands (with most bullets) with ammo that fits in the magazine. Which is fine, kissing the lands isn't necessary. I load to the longest length that fits in the mag (and functions), and only use the Hornady tool to make sure that length will *not* jam into the lands. Only bullet I tried that will actually jam the rifling was the 127LRX *if I loaded it to the absolute limit of the magazine. [/QUOTE]
