[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 469891, member: 29966"] Dirtyboy I don't measure COL because of the inconsistency of the tips (meplats is what I think they're called) so instead I bought a Stoney Point gauge that measures to a certain point on the ogive. I used to it to figure out how far I could load the bullet out till the lands and then backed it of .015" and it shoots amazing. However if I go to .020" of the lands it goes from 1/2 inch groups to 1.5" groups. The shells fit into the magazine but just barely so I loaded one extra long so it would scratch the inside of the magazine and show me the actual path the bullets take. Then I took a Dremel with a little tiny endmill and cut out a little relief along that line so that the bullets never touch the front of the magazine and it has functioned flawless for the last 100 rounds. Yesterday I tried to load up and shoot some 190 grain Bergers and i could not get them to shoot accurately without loading them longer than my magazine would accept so I'll just stick with the 185 grainers.
