[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2084563, member: 38048"] Are you measuring the coal with an ogive insert? That’s about the only way to get those numbers on those cartridges. Coal that the manual shows is from tip of bullet to the base. Not base to ogive. A manual can’t give you a measurement to the ogive because ogive measuring inserts are not a standard size between manufacturers. Even inserts from the same company can give you different lengths. Vld bullets will have a much longer coal when at touch than a standard bullet. In the pic above the cartridge in the middle looks about normal the one on the left would need about .350 freebore to chamber and wouldn’t fit your mag box. shep [/QUOTE]
