Could somebody provide a list of bullets that CANNOT be loaded to magazine length for an AR15? Thanks

Read your loading manual the COAL will stand out right away!

I'm 1000 miles from my reloading manuals and I need to get an order into Midway tomorrow so I don't lose my birthday discount!

Here's the list:
75 grain AMAX,
Alll 80 grain and heavier bullets, but as soon as I state that, someone will know about a new 80 grain bullet with a stubby ogive.

The 77 grain MK, the Horndady 75 grain HPBT, and the Nosler 75 grain HPBT can all be loaded to magazine length.

Call JLK bullets to find out which of their .224 diameter bullets can be loaded to magazine length.  Same with Berger, however I know their 80 grain bullet cannot.

Also remember that if you are pushing the limit of what will fit in your mags you might be in for a surprise if you change to a different mag.

I found out the hard way that rounds loaded to mag length for NHMTG 20's were about .002 to .003" too long for D&H 30's.
