50 Bmg

I am loading up some 750gr Wildcat bullets and was wondering what other people are loading...

My load....IVI brass FL resized....trimmed to 3.900
CCI#35 primer
235grs US869
OAL 5.700"
This sticks way the hell out...and would have to stick out farther to touch the land's....The bullet would hardly be in the case to seat it 010" off the land...
Should I just seat the bullet to the book OAL 5.450"?

The Rifle is a PGW....

235 sounds little hot to me for a starter, but with that much freebore might be OK. (Plus, I don't use that powder, might be wrong about the charge.) Got the same problem with my AR, I seat 'em out real long, but I'm still a ways off the lands. (Can't remember how far off hand)
I wouldn't worry about length, long as you got enough in the brass to keep 'em there.
