[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1574308, member: 77631"] Not trying to start anything. But you just proved me right. A normal LR hunting bullet now days has either a Tangent, secant or a Hybrid Ogive. A hybrid is mixing the first to in this order Tangent then switching to secant for the remander of the length of the nose. The Ogive the the nose of the bullet. Most bullet Ogive's are not figured by a angle but by A caliber, That is the radials of a caliber. The tip of the bullet is the meplat. So if your seating stem is pushing on ANY part of the nose of the bullet between the bearing surface and the meplat, It seating by the Ogive. You cant seat a bullet by the bearing surface as we all know. So that leaves only the Ogive (which is the full length of the nose) or the meplat (the very tip of the bullet) and we know the seating stems do not seat by the meplat. Hope this makes sense. If what I posted above is wrong. Please let me know. ON EDIT: LOL looks like I was to late to the party. Or it took me to long to type......... [/QUOTE]
