I bought a couple of Amend 2 poly mags to round out my build. Turns out cartridges loaded to the spec 2.26" can not be properly loaded into the magazine. If I seat them to 2.21" they function fine. Maybe it is an overabundance of caution, but I wanted to check with you experts before I ramp the pressure up on an already high-pressure cartridge. Am I approaching any kind of borderline here?
Yes, anytime you change your recipe you should redo a pressure ladder to test. Seating deeper can change pressure.
I would be more upset I bought a defective magazine than to even think about trying to accommodate a favorite handload to a defective magazine. Send it back.
