That's not the measurement that we're asking for. Remove the comparator from your calipers and measure the length from the base of the case to the tip of the bullet.

Finally.......too long.
Please show a picture of how you are measuring it. Are you measuring it with the shock hammer? Below is a COAL picture of my .270 AI with 175 Matrix VLD (bullet is 1.500" long compared to shock hammer's 1.304")
Does the 3.45" CBTO fit in your mag well? See post #22
A good read on CBTO and COAL >>> https://bergerbullets.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/COAL.pdf

Yep! We've been asking this info for awhile now.
The bullet in below the rings on the bullet how will making it shorter help? Others say it is too deep.

No, that's with the comparator. What is your COAL, the length from the case head to the tip of the bullet?
He isn't saying to seat it deeper, he is saying that you wont be able to use that bullet. But what we are having a hard time understanding is how you are seating the bullet that deep and it is still too long.
OMG! Yes, it was too long and then you shove it too deeply. @GLTaylor provided you excellent pictures in #135 as a reference on bullet rings but you still did NOT learn from it. If you look at your Hornady manual, it clearly says COL: 3.34". You clearly do NOT know what you are doing. Everybody is trying to help you but you still NOT clearly getting it. I am out.
