Hey Guys,
Need a little more help, I need to know the cartridge length for the .243 and the .260.
Thanks again,
JB

Here is a link to the information. That kind of stuff is readily available if you look for it from most any of the powder makers sites and for certain in any current reloading manual.

If I were you JB, I would bye a few good manuals, like speer's 13/Hornadys edition/Noslers manual/Sierras rifle&handgun manuals ect...I buy the manuals for the brand bullets I'm reloading works out well, data coincides with what I'm loading.Keep a log book with all your loads for your carts,good or bad for refrence for later use, this also keeps you from waisting time in the future when reloading at a later date, now what did I use for a load on that cart;) been there done that. Aim small hit small. RAMbo.

If you mean the spec max and min lengths, Accurate's #2 manual gives both for each cartridge listed. Lee's manual gives the max length on the drawing. Those lengths aren't necessarily the length you load to, that is different for different loads.

7mmman - apologies. I got so carried away with telling you where you could find the information, I forgot to answer your question. Ranch Dog isn't quite as dense as I am and posted the info. Sorry.
