I think thats a good idea.
Im at 2.183 and COL is at 2.200(I think I remember that right) so I'm going ot seat it out to max to start. I read so much about feeding probs on the WSSMs that I didnt want to seat it to far out at first. Ive had no probs whatsoever so that may have only been the 223s or just some hogwash. These are just the first handloads I put through it. I shot some 100 Win P.P. factory stuff to breakin and site it in.
I would suggest throwing away the book overall length and finding out what your RIFLE's max overall length is. Generally, I have found most rifles like their bullets seated fairly close to the lands. For instance, my .221 Fireball likes the bullets .05" from the lands. My 30-06 likes the bullets seated at .20" of the lands. If you have feeding problems once you figure out the max overall length for your rifle, you may wish to try a factory crimp die.
