[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 82208, member: 2852"] My box of 338 250 grain Lapua Scenars came yesterday and I had a chance to run some bullet tests on them this morning. Now, I didn't measure all 100 but I got through about 75 of them and here's the results: <font color="red">Base to Ogive length </font> 2 bullets were out 3/4 of .001", the rest were spot on! <font color="blue"> Bearing surface top to bottom </font> 3 bullets were 1/2 thou out, rest were spot on! <font color="orange"> Bullet weight </font> average= 250.1 grains one bullet went 250.0 and one bullet went 250.2! On top of all that, the meplats were much more flat than any of the MK's I've seen and the hollow points were round with little or no deformation. The boat tail on them is actually LONGER than the 300 grain MK, and the base of the bullet is larger too because the boat tail has a shallower angle. Very cool. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Cost was $49.50 shipped for 100 count. Listed bc is .675 and the actual bullet diameter measures .339. And an added bonus for me was that the ogives are almost identical in shape to the 225 Accubonds so I can have my reamer set up for one kind of bullet and the other kind will work at the same seating depth with no adjustment! I can't wait to go try some! [/QUOTE]
