Thread: Reloading new-bie - 7x57 OAL question

Hi,
new to reloading and persevering with attempting to measure OAL of bullet/case combination using the hornardy OAL gauge. Inserted a modified case and projectile, then pushed projectile to meet lands, tightened and removed. however with bullet selected, it will not be seated very far into the case (less than 5mm). with another bullet, it will not be seated at all.
this is for a 7x57 - maybe the throat is 2 miles long...

S&B case
Nosler ballistic tip projectile 150gr
and Speer hot-cor 145gr

or, am I stuffing this up in some way?

cheers
