[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 2139963, member: 104786"] I am nearing the end of a lot of Nosler 150g BT for my 270 and I opened a new lot just to check things out. The bullet base to ogive is 0.009avg longer in the new lot of bullets. The lots are separated by about 10 years so not knocking Nosler too bad on that. Would you make adjustment to seating die to account for this? It basically has stayed put for a few years now. This is where having to many reloading tools can make you over analyze things I think. I been rolling round with pretty good success just going by COAL and using a sharpie to determine jam length and just taking a smidge down. Now I have gauges to measure all this and I think sometimes I let myself get in the weeds instead of just saying pressures look good, ammo feeds smoothly, and is consistent. I am leaning to just rolling and seeing if it still work like the old ones. [/QUOTE]
