[QUOTE="liltank, post: 423489, member: 13275"] The variance you are getting is in the length of the plastic tip. This isn't the crucial measurement you are looking for. What you want to measure is base to ogive which is the leading bearing surface of the bullet that makes initial contact with the grooves and lands. The weight variance is normal. They are not going to be perfect in anyway shape or form. Some companies can be a little closer. I did however cut a .233" group from prone position with 110 V-max for my .308. They are very accurate bullets. To ensure accurate measuring of OAL, you should purchase a comparator which measures from the base of the casing to the ogive of the bullet. Tank [/QUOTE]
