[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2858213, member: 95013"] I post this to help others with an issue I have noticed becoming more acute as of late. Some time ago I began measure base to ogive size while reloading and noticed some inconsistencies with Hornady. I had no time to go through process for a recent hunt and loaded without measuring. noticed every 3rd or 4th round I had a flyer that was outside sub 1/2 MOA. It is acceptable to me to see maybe .003 or maybe up to .006 per bullet in same lots. In this case I have some 175 ELDX for my 7/300 PRC wildcat and when measuring bullets - I now have 5 different lengths. Again .003 to .006 or so, no big deal; but now I have lengths from 1.875 down to 1.861!!! [B]That is a .014 spread from same box. Talk about flyers!!!![/B] What are you seeing? [/QUOTE]
