TangoKiloKilo Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 What are your hand loads AOL, I have been setting mine at 2.8" but they just barely fit in the mag. , what are you setting the rounds too, an what is too short? When do you see pressure issues? 2.795? 2.790? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Probably depends on the Magazine brand your using , some take longer then 2.8" , some don't . I'm usually around 2.795" COL . , but that may be effected by Bullet type or manufacturer. Too short ? The Powder /Bullet may have the most effect on pressure issues on a short COL .

MikedaddyH Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Sweet spot for MagPul 20rd mag is 2.795" for me. DPMS 20 rd steel mag max length is 2.805". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbas4570 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 For me, I have always tried to stay within the factory OAL length of rounds, just due to my need to be able to use any and all ammo I have loaded in any and all guns (future and present) that I own. No special loads for me, other than tailoring a powder charge for the guns' liking a bit more. I value having ammo that works in all situations over having something that cannot be used in a different gun because of something like COL.

Sisco Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 My "B" Armalite mags digest 2.80 rounds just fine so that is what I keep it at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
