What are some of you hand loaders getting for Over All Case Length on your Savage 308's? I just got this 11 VT and it seems that the bullets contact the lands well shorter than a standard SAAMI length. It shoots well, and im not having any issues, but It concerns me a little how short my ammo seems to want to be. I dont want to make the rounds too long and run into pressure issues. This is with the Hornady 150 SST, and 168 A-Max. Im not a "prefessional reloader" by any means, but have been hand loading for years. Im must started to get deeper into loading. I have always used the "max length" out of my books. Had I not started learning more about loading lately, I would have just loaded them to 2.800 and went with it with no questions. But at that length, you can see marks on the bullet where it touches the lands.
