nalioth 405 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Sorry for the multiple post the system seem to be hung and I kept resending it. Mods, can we get a global announcement about "DO NOT KEEP BANGING THE ENTER KEY!" maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vorpal 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Overall cartridge length may vary. Obviously your completed round has to fit into the magazine. My particular Saiga prefers the round to be loaded as long as possible. If you were loading a .308 cartridge for a model 98 Mauser you could stretch the oal and it would still cycle and feed fine in that rifle, but would not fit into a Saiga Mag. vorpal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have reloaded many rounds for my saiga 308 as long as it fits in the mag the gun doesn't care. Make sure to trim your cases before loading as the cases stretch the bolt will not fully close..

John O. 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 2.8" is the maximum length. Overall lengths vary by bullet design and weight. Your Saiga will ingest the bullets at 2.7 easily. If the bullet you are using is listed in your reloading specs, the length will be shown when used for that powder. You might also note the trim length..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
