[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1401391, member: 10755"] Well, many moons ago, Nosler and all other bullet makers at the time had difficulty obtaining the zinc required to make bullet jackets, so the alloy % was changed and the result was longer bullets. I had several boxes of 180gr BT’s. I didn’t sort back then and I opened a new box and proceeded to load them up. Went hunting and discovered they wouldn’t chamber, the ogive was different. I then discovered the reason, the bullets were a full .050” longer base to tip and the ogive shape was different. So, yes, I have the same problem. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
