2 years ago I loaded in a Ruger American some 250 gr Cutting Edge bullets Raptors and was very happy when they could be loaded long....they were rolling at 2600 fps and some change and there was still a little room in the pressure department....

Dawg;
That was one of the bullets that I measured distance to lands with. They can go out to 2.17 COL, leaving .185 of shank still in the case. About half way between 1/3 and 1/2 caliber. That's not much shank in the case but having them butt up to the rifling, I don't have to worry about them easing out any further. They're not particularly long bullets to start with.
Do you recall what COL yours were seated to and how much powder you used?

I didn't even feel it cut, so don't know if it was a burr at the case mouth or freebore undersize. Wasn't much on the reamer so thinking the former.
