Hornady 123 HPBT

Mel, snag up a good Starrett or Mitutoyo 0-1" micrometer with tenths scale, much better for accurate measurements.

You might be surprised how much calipers can be off.

I have good starretts I just don't use them for my reloading stuff but I did measure the Ms mm bullets and came up with the same with them ,I've been sitting on this box close to a year now so maybe just that run . I also did compare to my nosler rdf eld etc etc bullets and those did come up correct.

I was blowing primers and seeing big pressure signs with the Ms mm bullets in multiple guns at low to mid range loads

Mel by any chance we're your running these from your creedmoor as well. Might be the reason behind what we were discussing last week.

By to way Chinese crap is lot of internet. They have many copies example Mitutoyo.
But normal caliber standards given accuracy tolerances about 0,005" or 0,003mm. Micrometer is better equipment to measure bullets.

i tried running them in all my 6.5 guns same issues in all of them
and those midway calipers match my good calipers readings its why i use them , i keep my good calipers and othe rmeasuring tools put away unless im doing some machine work on the lathe or in the mill
my a-tips - tnt - eld - rdf bullets come up at the proper diam

Just got a reply from Hornady about the Hornady 123gr BTHP that Midsouth sells.

This is what they said.

This is a contracted bullet just for Midsouth. So as long as they keep ordering these bullets we will keep producing it.
