So here's a question for everyone. When loading up some 223s I noticed today that there is quite a difference in the tip bullet length. I measured a good 20 of them and the smallest was 0.898" with the largest of 0.912". Obviously this is going to make quite the difference in overall length since that's a 0.014" spread across the 20 or so pieces that I measured. So here's the question. In this situation would you still load to a COL of 2.260? My general rule when making more for plinking is +/- 0.005 for a tolerance. Or would you set the COL for a bullet that measures the max of 0.912" and then let the smaller ones drift down towards a COL of 2.246". This would be my initial thoughts.
Thanks in advance
James
