I am working with my hornady OAL gauge on this 110gr VMAX. If I get anywhere near the lands, the OAL doesn't allow much of the bullet to seat in the case neck. Other references I've read list an OAL for this bullet as short as 2.610. My OAL gauge indicates the OAL to the lands in the REM700 I'm working with is 2.860. It's my understanding that I should seat a bullet at least a .308 into the neck. If I do this I will be at an OAL of 2.552, clearly too far off the lands. The Speer manual lists 2.550 as the COAL for a 110gr Spire SP. This seems like an extremely long jump to the lands with a bullet this short. Should I ignore the bullet diameter into the neck rule?
Yes ignore it, there is nothing wrong with jumping the lands, even that amount, that is how I get the velocity I do, and am able to run the pressures I do, it is also great for bleeding off pressure.

3500fps is no problem with 3031, 4064, benchmark, benchmark2, 4895
Thank you scopeye. I got a little too deep in the weeds on that one. My other rifles are Savages. I load to about.010 off the lands with.223 and .308. The numbers I was seeing with the Rem were a little freaky. The Remingtons are throated long as per the forums I've checked out. I should check the distances using the 110gr on my Mod10 to see how it compares. Thanks again. I can comfortably set up an optimum charge series for this load and get on with it.
shot them today, they basically shot right at 1 MOA 58 gr imr4064
How were the primers, 1 moa means you need to send them faster, and I say that in all seriousness.

primers were slightly cratered, but not bad!
I shoot 110 gr. hollow points out of my 24" 10 twist .308 with 45 gr. of IMR4895 with excellent results
