Alright all you reloading guru's, I got a question for you. I'm no expert at reloading, but also not a novice. I've been reloading for my 7mag for a couple years now. When I went through the process of determining my OAL and powder charge it all went very smoothly. Measured my OAL, matched with what my Nosler book said, worked up a few loads and found one that got me 3 holes touching each other. Fast forward to the present. I just got a .22-250 barrel for my Encore and all the bells and whistles to reload. I was trying to determine my OAL last night and I was consistently getting measurements just a hair over 2.5". My Nosler book lists OAL for the .22-250 should be 2.35. My question is this, is that just a recommondation and my 2.5" is good or am I doing something wrong here? Want to make sure all my ducks are in a row, would hate to damage my barrel or worse. Thanks for the input.
