[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1020326, member: 11132"] JugBuster, When you get a chance you need to check the specs on the actual bullets themselves. Doing that with an comparator that measures off a position along the bullets ogive area not the tip to its base. Measure the diameter along its body (bearing surface).You also can weigh them with your powder scale. Unless there is an issue (defective) with a lot that go past QC most of the premium bullets these days are quite consistent where it counts. Berger is the best other than some I use that are turned on a CNC microlathe. Even the Berger can have some small variation when you measure to the tip(no appreciable effect on accuracy) so it would not surprise me at all or I would even expect Nosler's to have at least the same if not larger tolerance for bullet OAL. Are simply going off recommended defaults in a load manual or are these your personal notes from past loads? Its not clear to me from your post is the reason I ask. My guess is its from a published reloading manual but I wanted to be sure. * Is this a load recipe you have used before in this gun or is this totally new in terms of this load? * What is the actual load recipe ( powder type weight, primers, prepped brass specs, etc)?
