    Ive never loaded that bullet before, but I’m guessing your seating depth is a little long. My Hornady manual doesn’t list the 62gr fmj, but it seems like other similar bullets in their manual are seated to 2.200”. The only ones longer are more streamlined vmax and bthp match bullets.

    Im pretty sure my 62gr FMJs are seated right around 2.250” so I doubt they’re too long.

    I’m wondering if the rifle has a short throat though?? The 55gr sp at 2.190” are functioning properly, they have a similar profile as the Hornady fmj. Just a thought.
