[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2140002, member: 96274"] Rifleman, the op did state 9 thous longer base to ogive. If this is the case and he didn’t mean overall length then I would indeed test a little bit. I would measure where you touch the lands with the old lot and new and seat the new lot at the same distance off the lands as your old lot of bullets. Shoot this and if happy with it leave it if wanna tune more I’d go .006-.009 in each direction in .003 increments and see which shoots best. Or you can just do a complete seating depth test such as the Berger test and find your best overall length that way. [/QUOTE]
