I am want to use a 311407 bullet in my Remington 742 3006. I thought I had it seated in far enough but to get it to chamber I have to move it in all the way in covering the lube grooves just leaving the nose sticking out. This means the bullet is down in the body of the case a fair amount. Is this ok? Or does it raise pressures? My 742 has been fixed as a straight pull to keep the receiver from wearing out and getting the rail marks worse so common on these. The load is 20 grains of 2400.
