[QUOTE="CapeEsperance, post: 1590191, member: 74181"] just measured 10 each of SMK (168), Hormady Match (168) and Berger VLD Hunting (185). Berger .686-.688 weight 184.6 - 185.0 H Match .626 - .629 weight 169.5 - 168.1 SMK (40+ years old) .625-.628 weight 167.5 - 167.8 Berger most consistent length and SMK weight variance was the smallest. 10 Rounds i assembled a year ago measured base to ogive: 2.250 - 5 2.251 - 3 2.252 - 1 2.253 - 1 generally fine, but no where near the precision i am reading in these pages. I was able to see variances between readings on lengths, and see the wisdom in something more precise. my factory barrel i measured lands engaged at 2.333. I am not sure how much more length i can get and still keep a caliber worth of bullet in the casing. I am getting .55" groups at 100 yards (need to find a longer range) so i may be getting all i can out of this set up without rebarreling. [/QUOTE]
