[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1105608, member: 10755"] I am convinced that you ARE measuring incorrectly, if you take a fired case and put 2 thin (.039") splits opposite each other in the neck, neck size it, place a bullet in it long seated, chamber it and close and open the bolt a few times, then measure, it should give an accurate measurement. To get an average, do this several times. This is the method I use and prefer. What diameter hole are you using to gauge the bullet ogive? It should be LESS than .308". Even if you measure from base to tip, the bullets are seated off the ogive, if they aren't all the same in ogive dimension, the OAL will change by that amount. Hope this helps. Cheers. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
