Im just getting into reloading and have started with 223. Im using nosler 55gr spitzer bullets and used the load data on the can of hodgon h335, which is for a 55gr spr SP, (i was under the impression that this was for all 55gr bullets). It called for 25.3 grains and an OAL of 2.20, however my OAL was 2.26 because the pamphlet that came with my die said so. They seem to shoot fine, so i loaded some more to 2.2 OAL because they fit in an ar mag better. After loading the second batch i found the nosler load data which called for 23-25gr and OAL of 2.26, So now im worried that the second batch will be over pressure. Is there an easy way to calculate chamber pressure? and is there a low velocity load i could do for shooting steel at closer ranges?
