I am using the Bergara supplied magazine. I don't recall now the initial COAL because I was basing it off the Hornady Lock-n-Load gauge then .010" off the lands. These rounds now loaded are only short enough to clear the magazine. I would guess that I had to reduce their length by about .020". Current COAL is 2.83" which is still .03 longer than book max length and puts me about .030" off the lands.
I'm heading to the range now so pic to follow.
EDIT: Just came back from the range without even firing a shot! Got out of the truck and the wind was blowing really hard. Probably somewhere around 25-30 mph and almost 90* crosswind. Ain't no way I could get a good analysis of loads with that. Now with archery season opening tomorrow I don't know when I'm going to get out. Its going to be a while for sure.
