[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 428996, member: 313"] I'm currently working with the 225gr Accubond in a 338 RUM. When seating the bullets and measuring from the ojive to the cartridge case base I noticed a frequent .010" variation. I double checked to ensure that primers were seated properly and that there was no powder compression (2 things I've noted can cause this problem) but everything looked good. I called Nosler who was pretty sure that the bullet tip was hitting the seater stem. That wasn't too likely because the 300 SMK and 185 TTSX bullets all seated within .001" consistently and they are both more pointed than the Accubond. Eventually, I bought a set of Redding competition dies and guess what - the Accubonds continued to seat .010" differently while the other bullets did not. Personally, I think I've got bullets from 2 different lots or produced by 2 different machines in one box of Accubonds. I can't think of any other explanation. [/QUOTE]
