[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 1984420, member: 115285"] You are very welcome. I really don't think jump is that critical, just that too much is. As I have found in my 338's case it really isn't that critical (.010" - .090"), but Brian Litz designed the OTM Hybrids to accept more jump much as tangent ogive bullets do. In the case of the secant ogive Berger and Litz say it does matter. However, in my opinion you shouldn't go too far, the bullet bearing surface still needs to be in the case neck as the ogive contacts the rifling, if it isn't it can induce a lot of yaw entering the rifling and cause problems down range with group size.
