That's because optimal COAL differs with each individual rifle, so it would be a meaningless number. You will want to tweak the COAL for your rifle to get best accuracy anyway, once you establish the bullet and charge that gives you the best result. They show max OAL only because that is the SAAMI established max for that cartridge. Hornady shows the COAL for each bullet only as a reference to the data they tested in the test barrel they used. It really has no meaning to the individual handloader unless you happen to be using the exact same barrel as they used to arrive at their load data. |
that makes sense, i just kinda like to have the saami figure so i know for sure
