To gm iprod: Thanks for the info. Now I'm going to ask an amateur question. How do I find out the length of my chamber? If it helps any my rifle is a Remington 700 VSSF 2.

Thanks for the help George. I was mostly looking for OAL. The Hodgdon manual has many loads using 335, but I couldn't find anything using the 50gr V-Max.

I want to load some .223 using H335 and 50gr Hornady V-Max but can't find any info. I could use some OAL info as well. Thanks

Stopping for a few seconds at the top seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help.

I'm starting to reload .223 on my 550. The problem I'm having is as the case is coming down after being charged the powder bar comes back into place and spills a small amount of powder onto the shellplate. After a few rounds it gets pretty messy. I'm using the large powder bar and going for 26 grains of H335. I'm also having trouble getting a consistent charge. I've loaded quite a bit of .45acp and have had no troubles. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
