My rifle (6.5 creedmoor) shoots Hornady 140, 143, and 147 grain bullets great. So when I found a deal on some Barnes 140 and 145 Match Burners (HPBT) I grabbed 500 of each. I have never been able to get them to shoot anywhere near as good as the Hornady. One problem is their length. In order to seat them .020 off the lands, my COAL would be 2.95”. Max length to feed from my magazine is 2.89”. I’m not opposed to single feeding them, but it just seems crazy to seat them that far out. There will still be enough bullet in the case, which I understand to be at least a calibers worth. But I was wondering if anyone has loaded these bullets up, or had to load anything that long?
