As always, you're right... Missed the "115gr lead RN bullets" part. :oops:

Re: OAL to deep...Junk?

I had to do the same thing a few weeks ago. I found myself with 100 rounds of .223 seated too deep, not because I wasn't paying attention, but because I read the manual wrong. I happily went along, checking as I went, and seated the bullets about .050" too deep. Instead of using one of the kinetic pullers I went and bought one of these.

I don't know if there's enough bullet left exposed for it too work but in my case I was able to carefully pull the bullet out enough, without disassembling it completely, that I could simply reseat them to the proper depth. Might be worth checking into.
