What is the influence of overal length?

Thanks Sieger, thats really a very interesting description. At least I understand now how critical the length is. I must admit I did not take the angle into account when I was thinking about the cause of the malfunction. I guess I will have to get a calipher to check each new type of amunitioin. Whitebox Winchester is sometimes hard to get around here, I don't know why, but I will stay away from the reloaded ones form the range.
I don't reload myself so I don't know much about that yet. Maybe I will look into that if I run into problems with the Winchester ammunition, but from what I read here, that one should be fine.
Or is there really a difference in mechanical performance that makes reloading worth while?

Hi:

Custom reloading for any firearm really brings out the accuracy and performance of it to its peak!!

Commercial ammo is loaded to averages, so, that's typically what you get from it, average performance!

If you have the time and talent, reloading is one of the most rewarding hobbys around.
