[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 685707, member: 5302"] If I understand all of this, it means that boattail bullets will be seated deeper in case necks by the length of their boattail ending up with shorter overall length as compared to flat based bullets of the same caliber. Heavier, large caliber boattail bullets would be seated about 1/10th inch or so deeper than flat based ones. When I first heard of this bullet seating conundrum, I'd just started high power rifle competition and reloading my ammo. In company at dinner one evening with some of the country's top marksmen, record setters and national champs, I asked them about this. First person to respond was Sierra Bullets' ballistic tech who reloaded all their fired cases used to test their bullets for accuracy; he said if he did that at work, he would have to use larger paper for targets so all the bullet holes would be on it. Everyone else laughed and applauded his response. [/QUOTE]
