I wonder if the chamber in his J&T tester was a little small? Shouldn't a factory load be able to chamber in the 6.5 grendel chambers?

I found on my 16" J&T I couldn't load some bullets to the specified length in the latest Hornady loading manual. My Son in Law tried using the 120 grain Nosler hunting BT in his Lothar Walther barreled upper and said they wouldn't function. I've loaded some of the 120 grain Nosler's but haven't gotten enough cooperation from the weather to try them out. I know the ogive on the Nosler is fatter than the nose of the 123 grain AMAX and I seated the Nosler bullets deeper than the 123 grain AMAX. Time will tell if they function and I get any accuracy.
