Hello from California but with a twist

That’s definitely a good start. I love all the books, I buy them all and use them all. A little note for the Enfield, if using brass fired from that rifle, neck size if possible. Chamber dimensions on those, and many milsurps, are all over the place. By neck sizing or working the brass as little as possible, you will extend your brass life.

Why were your overall lengths all over the place with 55gr bullets in your 223?

I had a funny feeling that’s what is was, but didn’t want to assume. That is a valuable lesson for new reloaders. Glad you got that one figured out.
