..............new to reloading and have a simple question. My 300 RUM Magazine over all length is 3.690. I shoot 200 gr Accubonds and don't really want any broken tips or misfeed issues. I have loaded some dummy loads at 3.689 (.001) difference and they seem to feed ok. They feed great at 3.680 (.010) difference. Small margins still....but I have yet to hunt with them and in a hurry up situation, have yet to slam rounds from the magazine. Is there a set standard that most use for COAL compared to Mag OAL to avoid these issues, or is it by trial and error? Trial by error may be a real bumber when that grizzle bear is chasen ya down, ya know? Is 10 thousands generaly enough to avoid problems? That seems to be getting pretty far out. Thanks for help guys.
