[QUOTE="Boozer, post: 1117190, member: 22146"] Hi all- Still very new to reloading. I was starting to reload for my 30-06, but after I discovered it had a jump in excess of 1", it has been sent to the gunsmith for a new barrel. While I'm waiting for it to return, I'm working up loads for my AR, and am wondering something. Shouldn't the CBTO measurement be (basically) the same even between bullets of very different nose profile? I have a bunch of 55 gr. hornady bullets that I got free with my kit: [url=http://www.hornady.com/store/22-Cal-.224-55-gr-SP-with-cannelure/]Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Bullets :: Rifle :: Choose by Caliber :: .224 22 CAL :: 22 Cal .224 55gr SP with cannelure[/url] And I bought a box of 100 of these: [url]https://www.sierrabullets.com/store/product.cfm/sn/1375/224-dia-60-gr-HP[/url] Initial CBTO measurements are coming back very different, but I thought CBTO was supposed to be consistent?
