[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 1147328, member: 1007"] I haven't measured the noses yet but I don't think they're .700" long. One thing is for sure, they're not optimum for short action cartridges especially if they have short throats. The 200 hybrid works well with short action cartridges as the nose is very long and the bearing surface is quite a bit shorter. You can seat them at 2.975" to fit a Wyatt box and have only a little more than the boat-tail past the neck and not have to jam them. Same thing with the 208 amax. The 200 ELDX on the other hand has a lot of bullet in the case to not have to be jammed. even if you jam them, there is still a large percentage of bullet in the case. [/QUOTE]
