[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 129472, member: 12"] General jump distance. No such thing, each gun and caliber is a beast unto its own. However, couple real general rules you can go with. VLD type bullets generally do not like a lot of jump and often like to be seated in the lands as much as .030. that often means that for pure accuracy they are too long to use in a magazine. Non VLDs and Sierras in particular generally like to be off the lands as often as far as .050. Barnes TSX bullets are designed for a jump of .030-.070. You pressure will normally less off the lands vs jammed in. With the 308 and Rem varminter you should start with the SMK 175 and see if it will not shoot well enough for you. I think you will find something there with the bullets set to max AOL to fit in the mag. BH [/QUOTE]
