[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1913302, member: 90397"] My calipers only measure to 0.001 though they sometimes seem to offer up a .0005 after the last digit. I agree if I had more accurate measurement tools I would be better able to tell the true difference in diameter and bullet shape. As noted previously I mic'd out the bullets at .264 and .2635 but I don't have extreme confidence in my measurements when I am pushing the limits of my mic. At this point I'm just going with the anecdotal evidence that one bullets goes through a hole that the other will not, which I agree is not something I have encountered before. If I really concerned, I would contact Berger but both bullet types shoot well for me as long as I seat the bullets with enough neck tension. I'm curious whether the new box of 500 153.5 Hybrids I have coming will be similar. I think the 153.5 Hybrid is fairly new and perhaps I just got a fluke box as Berger fine tuned their early production. I'm looking at the whole issue as more of an oddity than a true problem to be solved. (especially in my rural area with limited local capabilities) [/QUOTE]
