Check this out folks. A rep from Sierra reached out to me and offered to swap them for the other variant. How about that for stellar customer service!!!!

Mine is throated for the 195 tmk and using mdt mags which allow 2.89"

The weird ogive is the issue. I have never seen a .308 with an ogive so far forward.

The ones you have are for the 300 Magnums, correct?

Yes, the website I bought them from did not have them listed as such and I had no idea that 2 variants existed. USPS shipping quote was SHOCKING!!! Gonna try ups tomorrow

wow! it didn't cost me a penny to ship the bullets i had to berger and they didn't charge me anything for the replacement bullets for shipping.

Something I just thought about. You are going to need the proper barrel twist to stabilize these long bullets.

The old GameKing and Pro Hunters are looking better and better.

both 180's should still work in a 10t, but the 195's might need more

My 1-10 stablizes the 195s I primarily use so the 180s are no issue

Easiest fix is to slit a case neck with 2 cuts opposite each other, clean up the burrs and size it, then long seat a bullet and carefully chamber it several times measuring either OAL or BTO and use that measurement to work off.
It must be into the rifling at the length you are loading it.

Cheers.

Yup^^^^^ I have a case for every caliber I load and I have bought the comparator as well many years later...why...I don't know..modern technology I guess... always use my casings!

Today, using BLC-2 I hit 2756avg with the 175 grain Nosler Custom Comps from a 20" AR10. I backed down a full grain though as it was trashing the brass
