[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 977382, member: 12995"] Yep, good point trebark...I forgot to mention the 168 CH is a hybrid, not a VLD. I was simply stating that based on bullet weight alone, I have interchanged load data and had good results. As for that, yes, seating depth will need to be adjusted accordingly, since they have 2 difference style ogives. 57Loader, if you don't have a Hornady Comparator Gauge setup for your calipers, I highly recommend buying one. They're fairly inexpensive, and worth every penny. Because bullets are mass-produced, the meplats (tips) of the bullets are not always perfectly symetrical and uniform in length, so you will get a variance in measuring your OAL because the tips won't be uniform. Which is why it's more accurate to measure from the Ogive of the bullet (the radius where the side of the bullet (bearing surface) meets the ogive, which is where the bullet sides begin to angle into a point.
