Was loading today for a competition tomorrow and being more anal than normal!
AMAX 123. Noticed the length of the bullet was up to 5 thou's OFF. I was loading to 2.255 and about 1/3 out of 80 loaded came out at 2.600. I also measured from the ogive to the base and they were very consistent.
I called Hornady and the guy said their actually tolerance was up to 17 thou's for total length of bullet and around 1 thou from the base to the ogive.
I would be interested to hear if anyone has seen a difference like this with Berger, Sierra or Lapua bullets.
And for the experts, at what distance shooting if any would you see a problem with a 123 AMAX being 5 thousands longer?
