A few newb questions as I start down the path of reloading:
Do y’all chase a tenth or a hundredth when it comes to overall length?
Reload on right - Factory load on left…
Hornady Reloading Bible shows overall length of 1.169…as you can see my first put together round at 1.152…
Seems to me one hundredth isn’t an issue, thing plunked right in and out of my case gauge no issues, seating in gauge seemed fine.
Also, everything I read talks about getting the “feel” for the proper crimp. Mine seemed ok, similar feel to the plinking round I was comparing it too.
Any insight is welcome
