[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2196617, member: 113003"] Thanks guys, I measured the overall length because I figured the same bullets, both Berger 168 VLD Hunters, should have the same measurements for any comparison.....as long as the tips aren’t damaged. I do understand that overall length can vary from one type of bullet to the next. I’m wondering how it happened ? My best guess is my specific reloads had a box of “standard” .280ai (same bullet same Nosler brass) shipped inadvertently. You can order from the site and only specify the bullet and brass.....I have no idea the powder, charge volume or seating depth that would be used for such an order.....but I’m betting that’s what I got. If that’s the case, it means I only shot 3 of the shorties, which would make me feel better, and explain the occasional flyer that I was blaming on my poor shooting...lol. I will be looking a lot closer at every box of ammo that I buy from now on, factory or hand loaded. [/QUOTE]
