[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1501820, member: 63925"] Just starting to reach out further with my Sendero 300WM and one of the unknowns for me is how does the bullet dimensional measurement affects the longer ranges? I measure different popular 200 grain bullets and was shocked at the inconsistent bearing surface measurement I was getting. I actually gave up trying to sort them. So what would you expect to see in consistent dimensional measurements? Consistent bearing surface? Length? Weight? Weight ratios to bearing surface measurements? And so on? I am retired so I have way too much time on hands and maybe over thinking this concept? BTW - my Sendero will place 3 shots into 3/4" at 300 yards off bench if I don't drink anything with caffeine for a week.... 200 grain Accubond, 72.5 grains RL-22 (~2940 fps good ES and SD <10) and 0.010 off lands at ogive. I am changing out the RL-22 for better temp stability so carry rounds in shirt pocket to help. Off cross sticks, usually around 2" at 300 yards. I limit my shots to 500 and less just because the area I hunt rarely allows anything further anyway BUT looking at a hunt next year where I could see shots out to 700 or so. I do have access to a 1,000 yd range so looking to refine my reloading to address the possibility. What bullets can someone point to for most consistent measurement and what do you do for sorting?
