Hey guys n gals,
I'm new to loading these match type bullets. I kept getting different OACL after seating the 168gr bullets. So I grabbed a handful of bullets and my micrometer. Instantly I found that each bullet was ever so slightly different, measuring from 1.189-1.203. Is this common with the hollow points? I know its best to use a precision mic to measure the ogive rather than OACL, but haven't invested yet. Any input on this would be appreciated!
