[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1084665, member: 68613"] Pick up the Hornady bullet comparitor gauges. All you need is a micrometer, the comparitor holder, the comparitor, the shell and the tool to drive the bullet to the lands. On my LRP in 6.5 creedmoor the base to ogive on the 140 Bergers is 2.265, on the Hornady match 140's it is 2.262 and on the Sierra Matchkings it is 2.275. You need to get some of the AMAX bullets you're shooting for use with the gauges. Your problem could be headspace or you could be jamming. If Jamming, I'd set the bullets a little deeper as it could result in pressure spikes with the load they are using. [/QUOTE]
