I've noticed that on some loads of mine that the bolt is hard to close. I'm thinking that I have the bullet too far outa nd I'm probably forcing it in the barrel or into the case so I want to correct that. I've just been going by the manual's OAL so far.

I moved on to trying the stuff out on my Remington 770 308 rifle. It didn't turn out very well.
When I used the OAL tool to measure where the ogive was hitting the chamber it was way off. It was so long that just a small part of the bullet was still in the case and was way over the max OAL in the Hornady manual. I was measuring Hornady's 150 gr. FMJBT bullet.
I then tried it on my 770 in 300 Win Mag and got a similar result.
At this point I'm confused.
