[QUOTE="WildBillG, post: 1828543, member: 106952"] My measuring the Hornady's got me wanting to see if other companies changed bullet length that much. My Barnes 150gr TTSX in .284 varied about.010 and actually only one bullet was out that much the rest were .005. Then I tried some .284 Nosler E Tips 140 grainers and they were only .003 difference. This tells me more could be done on quality control some where I think. When we have variances in bullet length where is it coming from it can't be just in the tip. If it is in the taper how can we seat bullets correctly at all. If it is in the taper that could change where the ogive of the bullet is. Saying .015 isn't that much tends not to make sense when we adjust seating depths in .005 increments. I have seen the difference .005 can make in a group it can be quite a bit. The hollow point Bergers I measued did not change as much as the tipped ELDX did. Hollow points are supposed to be terrible to measure to tip length. So out of curiosity where do VLD seater stems push when seating a bullet. Is it on the taper or the ogive. [/QUOTE]
