I looked into these OAL's and while I think there is some merit here, this is not without controversy. These OAL's are VERY short for most bullets. While this may help them feed through an AR15 magazine more reliably they leave quite a large jump to the lands.
In my 300-221 chamber most bullets would be left with a .130" to .220" jump to the lands. That is an awfully long way for a bullet to travel before encountering rifling which is likely to impact on accuracy.
Also keep in mind that seating bullets this deep is going to change the pressure and velocity in your current load.
I will leave final decision on this till I have a chance to actually try it.

PS how does everyone on this board like knowing that the certain person who "developed" the "new" round spent time trolling this board for info like case lengths, bullet choices, powder selection and loads? Then low and behold commercial ammo of nearly the same type shows up and someone else is making money from your ideas and work.
