Is it possible that the ogive could vary .030" on different lots of Bergers?

[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 432528, member: 1193"] I've seen bullet length (base to ogive) vary from lot to lot, never .030 but that doesn't mean it can't happen. As far as going from jumping to jammed, it shouldn't happen. The seating die contacts the ogive(should anyway) to seat the bullet at a length detemined from the shell holder to the seating stem on the ogive. If the new bullets are .030 longer(base to ogive) all that will change is that there will be .030 more bullet inside the case. This of coarse can change pressure and may require tweaking of a known load. Chris [/QUOTE]
