I have a Bushmaster with a 1:8 barrel that should shoot these 180 gr VLD's but I am unable to find a load that will keep powder compression down and still stay under the over length to feed into the AR magazine.
Anyone have a load source for these.

Can you even load those bullets to mag length without the ogive being in the case? I loaded them for single shot use in a 1in8 twist 24" AR, if I remember correctly they liked to be out close to the lands
