[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1309737, member: 30592"] A VLD bullet does not make initial land contact at bore diameter. They contact the lands at the bullet bearing surface diameter. If the bullet diameter is the same and you switch bullet weights, the distance from the cartridge base to the point where the bullet contacts the lands will be that same. The distance from the cartridge base to the point you are measuring may or may not be the same depending on the bullet nose shape and length. The two bullets you referenced happen to have noses that are, according to the Berger spec sheet, almost identical. [/QUOTE]
