I am trying to duplicate either the Fiocchi or Black Hills 40 grain Hornady V-max load. I would like to know if anyone has this purchased this ammo and can tell me the OAL that the factories are seating this bullet to. I understand that the .223 SAAMI spec is typically 2.25" or 2.26" and I have seated bullets deeper or longer for various guns but would like info with regard to Hornady's 40 grainer. Or if you have a Hornday reloading manual and would like to chime in I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks,

EricW
 
I just measured one of my extremely accurate 40gr V-Max .223 loads for my 1/9 twist ARs at 2.214" to the bullet tip and 1.826" to the ogive... Hope this helps...These are my loads and not factory...
