    Greetings mopheadrob, From the photo's it looks as though the full dia section of the projectile is inside the case neck so if you are comfortable seating them longer and single loading that sounds...

    Try mag length and see how they go. My model 7 saum shot the 168vld’s and 160tmk well at mag length/jumped, better than when I tried to seat them long. There is very little length to be gained trying...

    LRAB's like a jump, don't worry about it and work on a mag length that feeds well.

    Have just gone through this with my 7mm08 mod 7 I didn't even bother measuring maximum CBTO as I new I wouldn't get anywhere near it with the limited mag length of a mod 7. I also dont think there...

    The ABLR from common reporting seems to be a fussy projectile that often doesn’t like being close to the lands anyway. Try them at mag length and see how you go.

    Unless you don't want to use you mag and turn your rifle into a single shot don't seat over the recommended COAL, even if that means a .130" jump. I don't know exactly what the jump is in 303's but...
