[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2964340, member: 115658"] Usually no problem. I do this frequently as I like to seat bullets, so boat tail is not below neck/shoulder of case. This can make what is normally a 2.8 COAL into an almost 2.9 COAL, close to a 3.3 magazine. My latest project will be a 6.5PRC having a COAL of more than 3.0 inches. Problems occur when there is not enough brass protruding from the magazine for bolt to touch on forward stroke and/or bullet tip hits front of magazine instead of feed ramp. [/QUOTE]
