[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1484123, member: 85389"] Paul, You are very welcome! Bob has your email and you will be hearing from him next week. In regards to the CLASSIC HUNTER bullets. These are a HYBRID design bullet that has a SAMMI length nose dimension for a bullet made to be used at magazine length. Unlike our ELITE HUNTER HYBRID or VLD hunting bullets that have a long "over length" nose dimension. Hybrid bullets are not as finicky as the VLD bullets in regards to bullet seating depth because of their tolerance of "jump" to the lands. With my .308 Winchester M-70 that has a throat so long that the 185gr CLASSIC HUNTER bullets base was above the cartridge case mouth if seated to touch the lands. I seated the bullet to 2.805 COAL to give me some room for bullet nose variance ( Usual COAL of the .308 WIN is listed at 2.810in) . Then worked the load up slowly checking for pressure signs and accuracy and got .4 groups at 100 yards. Try this before doing any bullet seating depth testing. [/QUOTE]
