[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 1157825, member: 306"] Bart, Like I say you can drop bullet in the cavity and that is taper and it's forward of the ogive and that's what I measure. I think most would be more concern on what bullets were used and since this is a hunting site that what I used. This is list of bullets I used. 180gr Speer,180gr Partition,165gr AB, 190gr Hornady,180gr Hornady 165gr Hornady,168gr E-Tip,180gr Rem,185gr Berger VLD and the new Hornady 212gr. I use seater stem from RCBS 30-338mag,seater stem from Wilson 30-338mag extra VLD from Wilson and seater stem from Jones die for 300Wby so used 4 different stem. Of the 10 bullets measure RCBS-- low was .266 and high was .285 and average was .276.5" Wilson stem-- Low was .235 high .245 and average was 241.3" Wilson VLD stem-- Low .266 and high was .274 and average was 271.4" Jones stem-- low was .250 and high was .256 and average was .254.2" Like I said I don't use standard seater and after measuring I could see where you and Mike think there is no difference but not enough that make me change. I think I'm going to change most of my Wilson over to the VLD stems [/QUOTE]
